Zigiotti learned to play football at her home club Bollstanäs SK . In 2012, as a 15-year-old, she played five games in the Norrettan (third-highest league in Sweden until 2012) and scored two goals. In 2013 she played 14 games with seven goals in Division 1 Norra Svealand (now the third highest division) and rose with the club at the end of the season in the Elitettan . In 2014, she scored seven goals in 25 games, helping the club to keep the class as fourth from bottom. For the 2015 season she moved to the first division AIK . Although she was able to score four goals in 21 games, but since her teammates only get seven more goals, AIK was relegated from bottom of the table at the end of the season. She then moved to the relegated team and local rival Hammarby IF for the 2016 season . Here she was able to contribute with nine goals in 25 games that Hammarby was first class again as runner-up after a year in the second division. With eight goals in 22 games, she helped keep the club in the middle of the table. In 2018, after eleven games with five goals on the west coast, she moved to Kopparbergs / Göteborg FC , for whom she scored seven goals in another eleven games and thus contributed to the runner-up. With her 12 goals this season, she was fourth-best league shooter. On May 1, 2019, she won the Svenska Cup with the club . The 2019 season she concluded with the club with the runner-up, where she was used in all 22 games. In the 2019/20 UEFA Women's Champions League , she and the team failed in the round of 32 against German runner-up FC Bayern Munich due to the away goals rule , as the home game was lost 2-1 and only a 1-0 win was possible in the away game.

Zigiotti went through the Swedish national U-teams and in 2013 took part with the U-17 team in the two qualifying rounds for the 2014 U-17 European Women's Football Championship , but failed there against the French team. She was more successful with the U-19 team. In 2014 she failed with the team in the group stage, but one year later the title was won at the 2015 U-19 European Football Championship for women . However, they could not defend the title in 2016 because they failed in the second qualifying round. She was not nominated for the 2016 U-20 Women's World Cup, which was held in Papua New Guinea in November 2016 and for which the Swedes qualified as U-19 European champions in 2015.

She played her first international match for the senior national team on October 4, 2018 in Helsingborg in a 2-1 win against Norway . She came on in the 68th minute. Five days later she was substituted on in Cremona for a game against her mother's country of birth. The game against the Italians was lost 0: 1 . This was followed by further appearances in a test match in January 2019 and at the Algarve Cup 2019 , where she received the yellow-red card in the 1: 2 defeat against Portugal , as well as the immediate preparations for the World Cup.
