Manchester United Women's team made a successful debut in the UEFA Women's Champions League group stage by defeating Valerenga 1-0. This marks the first time the team has reached this stage of the tournament. Maya Le Tissier scored the decisive goal from a penalty, securing three vital points for Mark Skinner's side.

The match began cautiously, but United increased the pressure after Melvine Malard intercepted the ball in Valerenga's penalty area. Although they didn't score immediately, United continued to attack, leading to a controversial handball penalty against Arna Eiriksdottir, which Le Tissier converted.

United's defense was solid throughout, maintaining control and preventing Valerenga from equalizing. This victory extends their unbeaten streak this season and marks their seventh consecutive clean sheet, including Champions League qualifiers. Coach Mark Skinner praised Le Tissier as a "rock" for the team, emphasizing the importance of the win for their campaign.
