Wolfsburg 3-2 Manchester United
A great half for the neutral.
United went ahead through Fridolina Rolfo, but three errors, two from Safia Middleton-Patel and one from Julia Zigiotti Olme, saw the German side storm 3-1 ahead, only for Melvine Malard to pull one back in first-half injury-time.

That's exactly the response that United would have wanted to have. Malard with the ingenuity to just spin and lob it over the keeper Johannes, who gets fingertips on the ball but wasn't able to direct it away.
Melvine Malard
A crazy first-half and hope for United. The ball is knocked back by Wolfsburg's Janina Minge, but Melvine Malard shows her predatory instincts with a hooked lofted shot on the turn from the edge of the penalty area.
Home goalkeeper Stina Johannes gets a hand to it, but can't keep it out and United cut the deficit to one.

That is an absolutely sensational strike from Beerenstyn into the top corner. There's nothing Middleton-Patel could do about that one. Again [it comes from] a turnover in United's half.
Lineth Beerensteyn
Another mistake from United ruthlessly punished by Wolfsburg.
Julia Zigiotti Olme plays a loose pass 35 yards out and it is straight to Lineth Beerensteyn, but what a strike from the home player.
She unleashes one from 25 yards and Safia Middleton-Patel, who arguably should have done better with both of Wolfsburg's first two goals, has no chance with this one.

That free-kick for United saw Julia Zigiotti Olme strike it well, but it was always straight at goalkeeper Stina Johannes, and she shows some good handling by catching it well.

There is an awareness now that Wolfsburg do provide a threat going forward. United have to make it much harder for them to make goal scoring opportunities.

It's going to be a long night for United.

Sarai Linder gets a yellow card and can't have any complaints as she grabbed Melvine Malard just when the striker was trying to chase on to a pass down the left channel.

This should never be a goal from that distance. United had plenty of time to get out of the box, squeeze out and put pressure.
They don't win the second contact and Peddemors does the right thing, bends it on target, but there is no way she should be scoring from there.
Wolfsburg now feel the momentum is back with them a little bit.
Ella Peddemors
From one down to 2-1 up and it is not going to be happy viewing for United keeper Safia Middleton-Patel.
There looks to be no danger when Ella Peddemors, the goalscorer of Wolfsburg's first goal, looks to put in a low cross from about 35 yards out.
But her ball into the box evades everyone, bounces once and that catches out Middleton-Patel, who can't get there with her dive and the ball creeps into the far corner.

[Corners] are definitely going to be a weapon for Wolfsburg. They just load the box and Kuver is definitely a presence in there with her height. She just unsighted Middleton-Patel there.
Wolfsburg 1-1 Manchester United
A chance for Wolfsburg after Safia Middleton-Patel tried to come for a corner, only for Camilla Kuver to get there first, with United relieved to see her flicked header go just over the top.

United are missing Tullis-Joyce a lot. Defence not nearly as stable and confident with Middleton-Patel in goal. That is when errors creep in. Cost us against City and has cost us again tonight.

Wolfsburg have already had success from an error from Safia Middleton-Patel and she again looks unsure of herself when she fails to control a passback from Maya le Tissier, much to the frustration of the United captain.
Middleton-Patel does eventually get the ball away, but Wolfsburg are going to be more motivated to try and hit her with a quick press.
Juventus 2-0 Lyon
In the other on-going Champions League game, Lyon, who started with three successive wins, are 2-0 down at Juventus, thanks to goals from Chiara Beccari and Michela Cambiaghi.
That would mean, as it stands, Barcelona would be the only side left with a 100% record and they play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge tomorrow.

Wolfsburg just want Beerensteyn to be their focal point. They are trying to find her early and build their attack from the front line with players moving around her for support.

Goal should've been disallowed head injury play should have stopped.

United's Jayde Riviere has been in the wars. She got clattered by Alexandra Popp earlier on and needed treatment to her right ankle. Now she has suffered a head injury after being caught by Lineth Beerensteyn.
A VAR check is needed to see if Beerensteyn should be in trouble, but she is soon cleared.

It’s a wonderful recovery from Le Tissier to get back and Middleton-Patel just has to clear her lines. Get it up the pitch, boot it away from goal. It’s a lovely finish from Peddemors but really an error that could have been avoided.
