At an earlier stage of the tournament, Ukraine's team in the Champions Path defeated Estonia's "Flora" (4:3) and Croatia's "Osijek" (3:0). Based on the draw results for the second qualifying round, "Vorskla" was drawn against Italy's "Rome."

The first match took place in Rome, and the home team secured a significant advantage. From the start of the game, they held the initiative, and at the 15th minute, Vien scored on a rebound to open the scoring. Near the end of the first half, "Vorskla" created their own chance but Chazar saved Kravchuk's shot.

At the 57th minute, Giuliano headed in her teammate's cross and doubled Rome's lead. Soon after, Djachinti forced Samson to make another save. In the end, the Italians secured a convincing victory—3:0.

The home match for "Vorskla" will also take place in Rome on October 18 (kickoff at 15:30 Kyiv time).

It's worth noting that the top 12 winners of this stage advance to the group round, where they are already waiting for "Barcelona," "Lyon," "Bayern Munich," and "Chelsea."

We remind you that "Kryvbas" concluded their participation in the first round, where within Group 3 of the Path, the league representative was defeated by France's "Paris" (0:4) and Sweden's "Lynchedinge" (0:3).
