Wout Weghorst
Weghorst helps out on the defensive, commits a tactical foul against Camara a good 30 meters from his own goal. But the Dutchman sees the first yellow card of today’s encounter.
26th minuteSalzburg’s Seiwald initially asserted himself strongly to the left in the penalty area, passing the ball to the near post just before the goal line. None of his team-mates are there, only Wolfsburg’s goalkeeper Casteels.
25th minuteWeghorst is served with a pass into the depths, but the Dutchman is then too slow in the sprint duel against Onguene. The Wolfsburg striker fouls his opponent and thus there is a free kick for Salzburg instead of a possible top chance for VfL.
22nd minuteAfter 20 very intense minutes, the Wolfsburg-based company let the ball circulate a little more calmly through their own ranks, if possible, in order to save some energy.
20th minuteWith the lead in the back, Wolfsburg first tightens the back and lurks for offensive pinpricks.
17th minuteToday Salzburg have the chance to qualify early for the knockout phase in the Champions League on their own. At the moment this would not be the case, as the guests are 1-0 down. On the other hand, Wolfsburg is on course for its first victory in the current group stage. So far, Lower Saxony have only drawn two and lost in Salzburg most recently.
13th minuteThe fast Okafor first overflows Brooks on the right of the penalty area, but the defender catches up with Salzburg and then wins the decisive duel. Brooks can now clear up this delicate situation after initially being taken by surprise by Okafor.
11th minuteA good ten minutes have been played in the game between Wolfsburg and Salzburg, the hosts lead 1-0 with a goal from Baku. But Salzburg didn’t need long to recover from the goal they conceded, the Mozartstadters are already starting again with all their might.
9th minuteAgain Sucic is in the spotlight, this time with a free kick for Salzburg from the right of the penalty area. He shoots the ball directly into the wall, which deflects the leather into the goal. So there is at least one corner for the Austrian series champion.
7th minuteSalzburg’s Sucic pulls volley from around 25 meters. The shot of the Croatian U21 national player goes just over the gate to the left.
5th minuteAfter Salzburg took the lead early in their home game against Wolfsburg, VfL now succeeds in doing just that in the second leg.

2nd minuteSalzburg are about to have a great chance. Okafor served Adeyemi in the penalty area with a deep pass. The German national player in the ranks of Salzburg is just disturbed by Arnold at the end and so Adeyemi pushes the leather from about eight or nine meters to the left of the gate.
