Osinachi Ohale was outstanding for Roma as they beat Hellas Verona 2-0 at Stadio Tre Fontane in Saturday's Serie A encounter.
The Nigeria international teamed up with Roma from Spanish side Real Madrid in July but was made to wait for her maiden outing.
Despite a shock 2-0 defeat at Empoli, manager Elizabette Bavagnoli handed the 28-year-old defender her first outing as a substitute.
Buoyed by the defeat of Empoli, Roma aimed to claim maximum points and Tecla Pettenuzzo assisted Annamaria Serturini to fire the hosts in front four minutes from half-time.
