Stine Brekken scored and Vålerenga held on to beat Roma 1-0 for the Norwegian club’s first-ever win in the Women’s Champions League on Tuesday. Roma made the better start before the visitors grew in confidence with Sara Hørte hitting the post with a deflected header in the 34th minute. Brekken, a 20-year-old midfielder, scored six minutes later when she eluded a defender with a smart turn and surged forward past more static defenders before firing the ball inside the top left corner.
