For the tenth time in a row, VfL Wolfsburg have qualified for the quaterfinals of the UEFA Women’s Champions League.
To make it to this season’s quarter-finals, the She-Wolfs needed a win by two goals in the final group game against last year’s finalist, Chelsea Women FC.
On the other hand, Chelsea only needed to avoid defeat to be sure of qualification, but the last season’s finalists were totally paralyzed by Wolfsburg, who are joined in the last eight by Juventus. Thanks to Huth and Tabea Waßmuth doubles.
Van de Sanden with a powerful shot forced Musovic to save but parried to the feet of Huth who is in the right place at the right time to calmly slotted home the rebound in the 16th minute.
The She-Wolfs weren’t buying into the Kerrby show as the defense kept out the duo of Sam Kerr and Fran Kirby from threatening.
Seven minutes later from scoring the opener, Svenja Huth once again was at the right place as Tabea Waßmuth’s low cross was easy and perfect enough to earn Huth brace.
Wolfsburg dominated the first half as they headed for halftime in great advantage.
Instead of the Kerrby combination, tonight it was all Waßmuth-Huth combining for goals as Huth collected a flick-on from Bremer and slide a ball in behind for Waßmuth to make it 3-0 on the 59th minute.
The Champions League’s leading scorer strikes once to dashed all hopes left of Chelsea in the 78th minute.
Emma Hayes’ side exited the group despite being levelled on points with the two qualified teams from the group.
