AS Roma secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory against Wolfsburg in their UEFA Women's Champions League group-stage opener on October 8, 2024. The decisive moment came early in the match, as Roma captain Manuela Giugliano confidently converted a 14th-minute penalty. Despite taking the lead, Roma was forced to defend for much of the game as Wolfsburg, two-time champions, applied relentless pressure in search of an equalizer.
Roma’s goalkeeper Camelia Ceasar played a key role in preserving the lead, making several critical saves to deny Wolfsburg. The German side came close to scoring on a few occasions, but the woodwork thwarted their efforts twice, allowing Roma to hold on for the win.
This result gives Roma a strong start in a tough group, while Wolfsburg will look to bounce back in their next match.
