Chelsea Women Beat Roma 2-0 to Keep Unbeaten Start Going

Chelsea Women beat Roma Femminile 2-0 on Wednesday, extending their unbeaten start to the season in the UEFA Women's Champions League. Ellie Carpenter and Kadeisha Buchanan both scored in the second half.

The Women's Champions League is Europe's top club competition for women. This season's league phase features 18 clubs. Each team plays a set of matches against different opponents, collects points, and the best finishers move on to the knockout rounds. Wednesday's game was part of the third set of league-phase matches, which ran across Wednesday and Thursday.

Chelsea arrived at the game with a strong record in this competition. Their 17 home league-stage and group-stage matches in the tournament have all ended without a defeat, with 13 wins and four draws, according to ESPN. Roma are a familiar opponent. The two clubs met in December 2025, when Chelsea won 6-0 at Stamford Bridge, as Chelsea FC's match page records.

Goals in women's football can come from anywhere on the pitch, and a second-half breakthrough can change how a team plays the rest of a game. Carpenter and Buchanan both found the net after the break, and the win kept Chelsea's record intact. The club's match report gives the full story of the 90 minutes.

Chelsea's domestic season continues soon. They are scheduled to host Everton on 7 November and Manchester City on 14 November in the Barclays Women's Super League, England's top women's league. Both fixtures are set for Stamford Bridge, with kick-offs at 12:45 and 13:30 respectively. Those games will show whether the form that carried Chelsea through this week can continue at home.
