VfL Wolfsburg Women

Match report

Wolfsburg's women's side saw off Sturm Graz 6:1 in the UEFA Women's Champions League 1st Qualifying Round - Finals on Tuesday evening. The German club opened their campaign with a statement victory in front of their supporters. It was a comprehensive result that reflected the gulf between the two sides on the night.

Ella Peddemors struck early to give Wolfsburg the lead in the tenth minute. Lara Prasnikar responded almost immediately for the visitors, finding the net in the thirteenth. Smilla Vallotto restored the home side's advantage before Svenja Huth extended it shortly after. By then the pattern was clear.

The second half brought further goals from both camps. Brigitta Pulins pulled one back for Sturm in the fifty-third minute, while Katharina Piljic added another for the visitors in the eighty-third. Lena Lattwein rounded off the scoring with a late goal for Wolfsburg in the eighty-sixth minute. The match saw several substitutions from both managers as they reshuffled their options.

We had backed the home side to win, though our confidence sat at just 43%. And here's the thing — this wasn't a certainty against any opposition. But Wolfsburg's quality showed through when it mattered. The old head settled them down when the visitors tried to find a way back into it.

The statistics told the story without embellishment. Wolfsburg held 74 per cent of possession and registered eight shots on target compared to Sturm's single attempt. The visitors managed only three corners throughout the ninety minutes. It was a one-sided affair in every sense.

This result puts Wolfsburg in a strong position for the next stage. Sturm Graz will need to regroup quickly after a difficult evening. The goal difference speaks for itself, and the visitors have work to do before their next fixture.
