In Thursday\u2019s Women\u2019s Champions League play-offs, Wolfsburg, playing at home, rallied from a two-goal deficit to secure a 2-2 draw against Juventus. Sarai Linder scored a dramatic equalizer in the fifth minute of stoppage time, firing a precise shot from the edge of the box into the top corner to keep the tie alive ahead of next week\u2019s second leg in Turin.<\/p>\n
Wolfsburg\u2019s coach, Stefan Lerch, expressed relief, saying, \u201cIt feels like we were able to draw at the last minute and get the win.\u201d Juventus had taken control shortly after the hour mark at the AOK Stadion, with Ana Capeta opening the scoring in the 6th minute and Amalie Vansgaard doubling the lead in the 61st. <\/p>\n
Nonetheless, Wolfsburg mounted a strong comeback with 10 minutes left, initiated by Janina Mingue\u2019s penalty goal in the 82nd minute. As the match approached its conclusion, Juventus seemed poised to head into the next leg with a narrow advantage until Linder\u2019s late heroics.<\/p>\n
Wolfsburg\u2019s Reins Behrenstein reflected, \u201cWe played well, but we didn\u2019t create many big chances. In the end, we deserved a draw and we still have chances next week.\u201d<\/p>\n
