Alexandra Popp had given the hosts an early lead but Roma equalized in the 56th minute through Valentina Giacinti.

Lineth Beerensteyn restored a one-goal advantage nine minutes later.

Wolfsburg is second in Group A with nine points from five games, while already qualified eight-time champions Lyon clinched the top spot in the group by routing Galatasaray 6-0 away in Istanbul.
