After the botched autumn championship, VfL Wolfsburg has to win against AS Roma. In the worst case scenario, the end is already sealed. The live ticker.
VfL Wolfsburg faces a crucial duel in the Women’s Champions League against AS Roma. After the narrow defeat in the first leg, the “Wolves” now have to score points to maintain their chances of reaching the quarter-finals. Because in Group A of the “premier class” they are level on points with Rome. A defeat would mean the end.
Lineup Wolfsburg: Frohms – Wilms, Minge, Hegering, Linder – Beerensteyn, Huth, Lattwein, Brand – Blomqvist, Popp
68th minute – GOAL FOR WOLFSBURG! That’s the double whammy. Jonsdottir, who has just been substituted, takes advantage of a mistake by the Roman Cissoko and overcomes Ceasar in the Italian goal.
65th minute – GOAL FOR WOLFSBURG! And that was very well played. Wolfsburg plays really well near the penalty area. With one-touch football, the ball comes to Beerensteyn, who pushes the ball past the goalkeeper.
61st minute – Now Wolfsburg is challenged here. A draw would have difficult consequences.
56th minute – GOAL FOR ROME! What was that then? A high through ball from Rome leads to the equalizer. Merle Frohms comes out of her goal and wants to pick up the ball. But Lena Lattwein wants to clear the ball, but shoots it against Giacinti, who shoots the rebound into the empty goal. Very bitter for Wolfsburg.
54th minute – A bad pass in the Wolves’ build-up game almost turns into a boomerang, but Rome plays it out a bit imprecisely. So Wolfsburg remains dominant here.
52nd minute – Wolfsburg still has a lot of the ball and gets another shot through Blomqvist, but the ball goes over the crossbar.
46th minute – It continues in Wolfsburg. If they win by two goals, Wolfsburg would definitely be in the next round. That must be the goal of Lower Saxony.
45th minute – halftime in Wolfsburg! A solid first half from the “Wolfen” who got off to a furious start. After two hits on the crossbar, the opening goal came. Wolfsburg then largely remained in control, but in the 24th minute things became very dangerous in the Lower Saxony penalty area. It remains exciting!
45th minute – A Wolfsburg corner lands in a detour at Blomqvist, but its finish misses the far corner.
42nd minute – Wolfsburg rely a lot on crosses, which is an understandable idea given Popp’s dominance in the air today. But it’s hardly really dangerous at the moment.
40th minute – VfL is very aggressive and toxic in their pressing here. This is causing big problems for Rome. Although there is a free kick every now and then, this tactic generally helps Wolfsburg.
35th minute – Rome looks for the gap in the Wolfsburg team, but often loses the ball. Wolfsburg is and remains the stronger team.
30th minute – Rome’s Cissoko gives Wolfsburg a free kick, which Svenja Huth brings into the penalty area from the left. Popp’s subsequent header ends up in the goalkeeper’s arms.
