Shukurat Oladipo played the full 90 minutes as AS Roma Women beat city rivals Lazio 3-1 at the Stadio Tre Fontane on Saturday. Her compatriot Rinsola Babajide was on the substitutes' bench throughout the encounter.
Maya Doms (41st), Alice Corelli (71st) and Pilgrim (87th) found the back of the net for the league leaders, while Monnecchi scored a consolation for the visitors in the fourth minute of stoppage time.
It was Roma's second win in two league games, and it came after a heavy 6-0 defeat by Barcelona in their Women's Champions League opener on Wednesday.
Toni Payne replaced Detruyer in the 53rd minute as Inter Milan women defeated Como Women 2-0 on Sunday. Goals from Vilhjálmsdóttir and Bugeja were all they needed to pick maximum points.
Première Ligue
On Sunday, French giants PSG Women beat Fleury 3-1 away from home, thanks to goals from Rasheedat Ajibade and Jennifer Echegini.
The Parisiens dominated the encounter from the start and deservedly broke the deadlock from the penalty spot through Morissaint in the 22nd minute. Echegini doubled the lead 14 minutes later with a header, while her compatriot and Super Falcons captain Ajibade made it 3-0 in the 58th minute.
However, PSG could not keep a clean sheet, as the hosts pulled one back in the 75th minute through Chossenotte.
The win, PSG's fourth in four league games, kept them second on 12 points, the same as leaders Lyonnes, who have a superior goal difference.
Echegini, who was substituted for Carmona in the 61st minute, has one league goal this season. Ajibade, on the other hand, has two goals in four league matches.
Damallsvenskan
In the Swedish women's league, Joy Omewa continued her goalscoring form on Sunday. The Super Falcons striker scored a brace as her side, BK Häcken, thrashed bottom-placed IK Uppsala 9-0 at the Nordic Wellness Arena. It was her first start at home since joining the club this summer.
She needed just ten minutes to open the scoring before adding the second seven minutes later. Tabby Tindell (hat-trick), Anna Anvegård (brace), Tilde Karlsson and Maja Bodin completed the rout, and Häcken stayed at the summit of the table with 58 points from 21 games, five clear of second-placed Hammarby.
Women's Super League
Lastly, in the WSL, Super Falcons goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie was in goal as Brighton thrashed Charlton Athletic 5-1 on Sunday.
The former Paris FC netminder conceded early, parrying the ball into the path of Korhonen, who scored the rebound in the third minute.
However, the hosts equalised through Kiko Seike in the 26th minute, and Fran Kirby put them ahead before the break.
Seike grabbed her second of the afternoon in the 54th minute, before Maisie Symonds and Gabby George made it four and five, both scoring in second-half stoppage time.
It was the first win of the season for Nnadozie and her teammates, while Charlton remain without a point after five defeats.
Next Assignment: International Duty
The players will now turn their attention to the upcoming international window, where they face Comoros in a two-legged 2028 Olympic qualifier.
The first leg is on Friday, October 9, with the return on Tuesday, October 13. Both matches will be played at the Remo Stars Stadium in Ikenne-Remo, as Comoros has no CAF-approved venue.
