The team finished even on points with ACF Milan in Group A, as, during the final league match against the rossonere, a late goal handed the win to the Milanese club. At that point, a play-off match was held seven days later, lost at the 94th minute.^[4] Como 2000, however, was later granted access to the Serie A as well when Reggiana withdrew.^[5] Giuliani made her Serie A début on 9 October 2011, against Tavagnacco,^[6] and marked 22 appearances out of the 26 league matches, conceding 37 goals as Como finished the season 9th.
