Glatzel opened the scoring with a penalty in the fourth minute, and Costa added a second before half-time. Cottbus responded through Erlein just before the break, then Manu equalised early in the second period. Cigerci restored Wolfsburg's lead with another spot-kick, only for Svanberg to extend the advantage before Bogdanov's late strike completed the comeback.
