#vfl-wolfsburg

Olise was a whirlwind on the right wing, and his form was on song today. The 24-year-old dazzled with his feet as he always does, his start-step stutter too much for any defender to keep up with. Those chip-ball crosses to the far post, arching over the backline to find a teammate at point-blank range? He's done this before but had an infinite supply of these marvels in his locker today.

MADRID -- Former winners VfL Wolfsburg had the perfect opportunity to break into the top four of the UEFA Women's Champions League table and earn automatic qualification to the knockouts. Instead, they gifted that chance to nine-player Real Madrid, who claimed a 2-0 victory and have positioned themselves on the cusp of avoiding the knockouts. It was always going to be a tight contest, with both sides needing a win in the penultimate game of the league phase.
