Substitution at VfL Wolfsburg: Lena Lattwein

19:39
In midfield, Lena Lattwein is lying on the floor, holding the inside of her left thigh. It seems as if the strong six got into the muscle, she will not be able to continue.
45
19:37
Official injury time (minutes): 2
45
19:37
The English women seem very insecure about the aggressive behavior of the wolves and only capture a few balls.
43
19:36
Just before halftime, the Gunners try again to get a hold of the front. But Wolfsburg is much stronger in the duels and so far have not allowed anything at all.
40
19:34
The Lower Saxony still have everything under control and put the opposing defense under great pressure. In these minutes, the Londoners always get a foot in between. Oberdorf’s attempt from half-left in the penalty area and Huth’s right-footed shot from the right in the box are blocked.
38
19:31
Again, the Arsenal keeper must intervene and save her team from worse. The people in front of you have moved up a bit and Jónsdóttir is quickly sent deep after winning the ball in Wolfsburg. She would have run towards the box on her own, but the keeper smelled the roast and played well.
36
19:29
The chance to make it 2-0! After a nice combination in the back room, Lattwein has the ball just before the box and puts it across to the right. Waßmuth lets the pass pass just behind the edge of the penalty area, Huth is the receiver behind her. With her low right-footed shot from eleven yards from half-right in the penalty area, Zinsberger is quickly down and saves with her right foot.
35
19:27
Kicked by Huth from the left, the corner then brings nothing.
34
19:26
Sveindís Jónsdóttir turns heavily around Noelle Maritz near the left corner of the sixteen with his back to goal and sprints towards the baseline. Your twisted flank with the left suddenly flies very dangerously towards the box and Zinseberger directs the leather to the corner to be on the safe side.
32
19:25
Shortly thereafter, another smoke corner sails from the right into the five. The woman really has a strong left hoof, the standards regularly come extremely dangerous. This time, guardian Zinsberger can clarify with her fist.
30
19:23
After the long-range shot from the center that followed shortly thereafter, the Wolves complained about a handball. The ball bounces off the defenders’ feet and onto their arms, the whistle doesn’t go off – the right decision.
28
19:21
With a respectable, fast flat-pass combination, the leather gets from the right center to the left wing to Jónsdóttir. From there, she moves parallel to the sixteen into the middle, but is then blocked from a good 20 meters at the end.
26
19:19
Now the home team is pulling back a bit, but then switch over at lightning speed when they have possession of the ball. With a long, high ball from the center, Wassmuth is sent on the half-right forward. In the running duel, however, she has to admit defeat to Williamson, who is a little better positioned.
23
19:15
The Stroot-Elf is actually always the famous step faster up to this point. Shortly before the center line, Vivianne Miedema doesn’t respond energetically enough to a low pass and VfL regains possession of the ball.
21
19:13
Wolfsburg has everything under control so far and hardly ever lets the opponent out of their half. So far, it has only been dangerous in front of his own box due to Wilms’ unsuccessful defensive action.
20
19:12
It takes a while to review the decision, but then the whistle is confirmed – it was offside.
18
19:11
The ball bounces in the net, but then the flag goes up and the offside whistle sounds. After another smoke corner from the right, Waßmuth is served half-right in the penalty area in the second attempt with a diagonal chipball and humorlessly carpenters the ball from about seven meters with the right into the far corner.
17
19:09
On the right side, the agile captain Huth is repeatedly staged. The English women have their dear problems with the tricky and ball-safe outside player.
15
19:07
VfL pays attention to the subsequent corner, which is taken briefly in the direction of the penalty spot, and intervenes.
14
19:06
A Blackstenius cross from the right flank is maneuvered by Wilms in the center, without any opponent pressure, almost into his own box himself, the ball just rushes past the left post.
12
19:05
Following the goal, the hostesses remain hungry and aggressive. They keep pushing forward and go for the second!
9
19:00
Tooor for VfL Wolfsburg, 1-0 through Jill Roord
And then they somehow push the leather over the line after the subsequent corner! Rauch brings the standard with her strong left foot, in the five-pointer Jónsdóttir extends after a brief contact from Lattwein at the height of the near post. The ball only bounces a little to the left, where Roord switches the fastest and steers it past the keeper from a very short distance with his right outside instep. The early lead for the wolves!
9
19:00
Then it goes back over Huth and the right side. This time her cross to the corner is blocked.
8th
19:00
Half-left in her own central midfield, full-back Rauch works well against the ball and can wrestle it away from the opponent.
7
18:58
Svenja Huth is sent down the right flank and has quite a lot of space just in front of the lateral edge of the penalty area. The keeper Zinsberger has slight problems at the near post with her cross with the right and cannot hold the ball. Luckily for her, it bounces off Sveindís Jónsdóttir’s back off the post and into the goal.
6
18:57
Wolfsburg took matters into their own hands and pushed Arsenal deep into their half.
4
18:56
After a somewhat longer break in treatment, you can finally continue.
2
18:56
Shortly after the whistle, Frida Maanum collided with Lattwein on the right in midfield, remained down and had to be treated. She holds her nose.
1
18:53
Regarding the jersey colors, everything as usual. The VfL completely in neon green, the Gunners in red and white uniform.
1
18:52
But then the time has come, referee Projkovska from North Macedonia gives the go-ahead!
18:48
You don’t see that every day: the players and the team of referees are ready, but in the Wolfsburg sixteen green and white “foam chips” still have to be removed with a rake and leaf vacuum, which is why the kick-off is delayed a bit.
18:46
Over 10,000 tickets were already sold in the run-up to the match. As the last German team in the competition, the Wolves can look forward to loud support!
18:43
After the Green-Whites won the highest league in Europe in 2013 and 2014, they are now aiming for their third title. One thing is already certain before the game: the winner will meet the title favorites from Barcelona. However, one by one. Today it’s all about getting the best possible performance against the women from the English capital!
18:41
However, there are not really many reasons for this conviction of the Swede. Arsenal Women Football Club have won just one of six matches played on German soil and have already suffered a 4-1 defeat at Hoffenheim’s TSG in this year’s group stage.
18:39
Both coaches were confident ahead of the clash, with VfL coach Stroot appearing a little more reserved compared to his opposite number: “We’re ready for anything, even if we don’t know exactly what Arsenal are going to do.” Arsenal manager Eidevall, on the other hand: […] I believe 100 percent that we will win and I will always believe that.
18:33
Accordingly, things are looking very good for the clubs in the national league. While the Gunners are just one point behind leaders and city rivals FC Chelsea in second place, VfL, the leaders in the women’s Bundesliga, have a one-point lead over pursuers FC Bayern Munich.
18:28
Both teams have been in excellent form for weeks and can face the next 90 minutes with confidence. The Wolves are now unbeaten in 14 competitive games and only had to settle for a draw in the first leg. They were able to win all other games. The situation of the guests, who could not be defeated in their last eleven games, looks similar. However, they shared the points with their opponent four times.
18:22
Compared to the first leg, coach Jonas Eidevall sent two new players onto the pitch for the Londoners. Lia Wälti and Beth Mead (neither in the squad) are represented by Frida Maanum and Tobin Heath.
18:18
First, let’s take a look at the lineups. Head coach Tommy Stroot makes just one change for Niedersächsinnen compared to last weekend’s 4-1 away win against Eintracht Frankfurt. Tabea Waßmuth, who leads the competition’s top scorer list with a strong nine goals from seven games, is back in the starting eleven for Pauline Bremer (not in the squad) after being rested against the Hessians for the upcoming game.
18:04
After VfL led almost the entire game in the first leg after Tabea Waßmuth’s header in the 19th minute, they had to accept an equalizer from Carlotte Wubben-Moy shortly before the end. Despite the bitter late goal, the Wolves have the slightly better cards thanks to the home advantage and will do everything they can to beat the Gunners at home, as they did in the CL semifinals in 2013, to reach the round of the last four reach.
17:54
Hello and welcome to the UEFA Women’s Champions League this Thursday night! In the second leg of the quarter-finals against Arsenal WFC, the VfL Wolfsburg women want to make it through to the semi-finals in front of a large crowd at their home Volkswagen Arena. Kick-off is at 6:45 p.m.
