West Ham secured their first victory in the Women's Super League this season with a 2-1 win against London City Lionesses at home.

Kelly Gago opened the scoring in the 21st minute, capitalizing on a pass from Seraina Piubel. Gago skillfully rounded City goalkeeper Elene Lete to find the back of the net.

Just three minutes into the second half, Viviane Asseyi doubled the lead. Released by Riko Ueki, Asseyi sprinted from 40 yards out before firing a powerful shot home.

London City created a tense finish when Danielle van de Donk managed to score with a clever back heel, bringing the score to 2-1 with 14 minutes remaining. Despite their efforts, the Lionesses struggled to replicate the form that saw them defeat Manchester United in their opening match.

West Ham head coach Rita Guarino expressed her satisfaction with both the result and the team's performance, stating:

"I'm very happy. It's three important points at home in front of our supporters, but also for the performance in the way the team played today. I saw the spirit that I want to see every time, it's part of our identity."

Guarino emphasized the need for the team to maintain this spirit in every match moving forward.
