The UWCL group stage gets underway on Tuesday, with some mouthwatering clashes to look forward to.
Here’s what went down.
Scorers: Diani 33′ 76′, Gilles 45′
France star Kadidiatou Diani delivered for Lyon as they registered a 3-0 win over Galatasaray.
The Turkish side had been pinned back by Lyon for long periods in the first half, and the French side got their reward for some patient attacking play.
Tabitha Chawinga crossed in from the left and that ball was converted by Kadidiatou Diani with a perfectly directed header.
On the stroke of half-time, Lyon had their second as another cross from Chawinga on the left was headed in by Vanessa Gilles.
Diani finished last season as the Champions League top scorer, and she had her second with 15 minutes to play with another header, this time glanced into the back of the net.
Scorers: Giugliano 14′ (PEN)
Roma snuck past Wolfsburg with a 1-0 win thanks to a first half penalty.
Alessandro Spugna’s side took the lead thanks to Manuela Giugliano, who took a very short run up to power home a very well-executed penalty.
Wolfsburg pushed hard to find the equaliser, with Marina Hegering unlucky not to score as she hit the crossbar.
Roma’s Camelia Ceasar also made a top-class save to keep their German opponents at bay.
