Setback for VfL Wolfsburg in the Champions League. The defeat against Sevilla in the penultimate group game is tantamount to falling to the bottom of the table.
Now he has VfL Wolfsburg a real finale. On December 8th against Lille points are absolutely essential, otherwise the premature end is in the Champions League sealed – and also with a winter in the Europe League it won’t be anymore. The reason: The 2-0 defeat against Sevilla and the crash at the bottom of the table in Group G. The hosts were scored by Joan Jordan in the 13th minute and Rafa Mir in stoppage time (90 + 7).

Seville is about to set an example
From the start, the hosts exuded great dominance. Wolfsburg was pushed deep into their own half. A header from Jules Kounde (10th) was easy prey for Pavao Pervan. The Austrian made his Champions League debut as a replacement for the regular goalkeeper who tested positive for Corona Koen Casteels.
But just 180 seconds later, the 34-year-old was defeated. After a flank from the ex-Schalke Ivan Rakitic Jordan was successful with his head. Visibly annoyed, coach Kohfeldt rummaged in the pockets of his jacket, the 39-year-old wanted to avoid an early deficit.
