Wolfsburg advanced to the 2021-22 UEFA Women’s Champions League semifinals on Thursday with a 2-0 home victory over Arsenal, lifting Wolfsburg to a 3-1 win on aggregate after the teams tied in the first leg in London last week.
Jill Roord scored against her old club nine minutes into the second leg for what was, eventually, the series-deciding goal. Roord pounced on a loose ball in the box which had dropped from a corner kick. Roord moved to Wolfsburg from Arsenal last year.
Arsenal pressed for an equalizer, but the game was put out of reach in the 72nd minute when Leah Williamson stretched out her leg to defend a cross and put the ball into her own net.
Wolfsburg will face reigning European champions Barcelona in the semifinals.
