According to a report by BBC Sport on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, Chelsea Women secured a vital 2-0 victory over AS Roma Women in their UEFA Women's Champions League match.

Chelsea started the game with the aim of getting a positive result, but they had to wait until the second half before making their advantage count, as both teams struggled to find the breakthrough during the opening period.

The Blues returned from the break with more purpose, and their efforts paid off in the 51st minute when Carpenter scored the opening goal after receiving a pass from Wieke Kaptein, giving the home side the lead and putting pressure on Roma to respond.

Roma tried to get back into the game by making several substitutions, hoping to find a way through Chelsea's defence, but the visitors struggled to create enough clear chances to trouble the Blues as the match progressed.

Bompastor also made changes to keep her side fresh, bringing on players including Keira Walsh and Melvine Malard in the 56th minute, while Chelsea continued to look for another goal that would put the result beyond doubt.

Their second goal eventually arrived in the 89th minute when Buchanan headed home from a delivery by Kaptein, who provided her second assist of the night, sealing an important victory for the English side late in the contest.

The result will give Chelsea further confidence as they continue their campaign in Europe, especially after showing patience to break down a Roma side that defended for long periods but could not prevent the hosts from scoring twice after the interval.

With the victory, Chelsea Women moved to second position on the UEFA Women's Champions League table with seven points, while AS Roma Women dropped to 16th place with just one point from their opening matches, leaving them with work to do in their remaining games.
