Roma celebrates first European win as Inter falls to City in UWCL

This evening, in the fourth matchday of the Women’s Champions League, the two Italian sides experienced opposite fates: Roma secured its first European win, while Inter fell heavily against Manchester City.

Roma, unbeaten Serie A leader, overcame Servette at home, taking the lead after just over half an hour thanks to goals from Van Dooren and Pilgrim. The penalty converted by Italian Marinelli for Servette only served to make the defeat less bitter.

Inter, however, opened the scoring with Bartoli about twenty minutes after kickoff, but then suffered a devastating response from Manchester City, which closed the match 4‑1. Fujino’s brace gave City the lead already at the end of the first half, while two English goals in the second half sealed the final score.

In the other fixtures, Italian Caruso scored for Real Madrid, which beat Paris FC 3‑0. Dragoni’s Chelsea remained stuck at 0‑0 against Hacken. Bayern Munich secured a narrow win over Paris Saint‑Germain.

Postponement of the Benfica‑Austria Vienna match

The clash between Benfica and Austria Vienna, scheduled for the fourth matchday of the Women’s Champions League group, was postponed to 21:00 on Thursday 12 November due to adverse weather conditions caused by Storm Charles. It was originally slated for Wednesday 11 November at 21:00 at the Estádio da Luz. The decision was announced by UEFA after the alert status declared by the Portuguese government, which led to the postponement of all European matches planned for Wednesday in Portugal. The new date and time were communicated by UEFA.
