The first goal does not count

Three days before the Bundesliga summit against champions Bayern Munich (2 pm), which failed on Wednesday in Paris Saint-Germain, Wolfsburg were the decisive team there with their fans behind them in the early stages. Rurd rewarded the hosts’ offensive efforts right from the start. Before the eyes of the national team coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg and some VFL players, the Wolfsburg women did not give up and repeatedly entered the opponent’s penalty area dangerously.

Shortly thereafter the ball landed in the net after a shot from Tapia Wassmouth, but was ruled offside. Arsenal barely managed to get out of their own half, and the Wolfsburg defense was there for the rare try. Schulte saved Steve Cattley’s shot safely (33 minutes). But Svenja Huth (35) also failed because of Arsenal goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger.

Even after the break, Wolfsburg initially dominated the match and continued to look for a way forward. But Arsenal became more and more dangerous, but he could not take chances efficiently at first. On the other hand, the flight attendants tried to control the game better again. Williamson eventually drove the ball into his own goal and thus extended Wolfsburg’s lead.
