Blomqvist gives VfL the lead
Stroot made three changes in the second period: Alexandra Popp, Joelle Wedemeyer and Tabea Waßmuth came on for Lena Oberdorf, Lynn Wilms and Joelle Smits. The inclusion of Waßmuth soon had a positive effect. In the 58th minute, the 25-year-old prevailed on the right wing and crossed inside to Rebecka Blomqvist, who scored the 2-1 win for Wolfsburg. The cheering among the “wolves” was great afterwards and testified to the great relief of the title candidate, who had probably imagined this task to be a little easier.

Stroot-Elf celebrates victory – Saturday against Hoffenheim
However, even after the opening goal, the women from Lower Saxony did not appear with the sovereignty of a leaders in the future. The Stroot-Elf had to tremble for success until the end because they were not able to make the final decision up front and there was always the danger at the back that one of the countless high balls from the hosts could somehow slip through into the Wolfsburg penalty area. In the end, a work victory for VfL, which has now turned from the hunter to the hunted.
On Saturday against TSG Hoffenheim, the “wolves” will face their first test as leaders. The sports club broadcasts the game from 2 p.m. live on NDR television and here at NDR.de).
