Chelsea secured a 2-0 victory over Roma on Wednesday. The win came in the UEFA Women’s Champions League. Manager Sonia Bompastor extended her unbeaten start to 12 games across all competitions.
Substitutes Make An Impact
The hosts dominated possession during the first half. However, they struggled to convert their scoring opportunities. Bompastor introduced Ellie Carpenter and Sjoeke Nüsken at half-time. The tactical changes yielded immediate results for the London club. Carpenter opened the scoring within five minutes of the restart.
Buchanan Seals The Result
Chelsea continued to press the Italian side. They recorded six shots on target compared to zero for Roma. Defender Kadeisha Buchanan eventually doubled the advantage. She headed the ball into the net in the 89th minute. The late goal provided a fair reflection of Chelsea’s overall dominance.
Building A Ruthless Mentality
Bompastor praised her squad for finding ways to win. She highlighted their ability to change the game dynamically. The team currently tops both their Champions League group and the domestic league. They have only conceded four goals in domestic action this season.
