Women

Successful final friendly

The She-Wolves beat BK Häcken 4-0 to round off their mid-season preparations.

VfL Wolfsburg Women recorded a deserved 4-0 friendly win over Swedish league runners-up BK Häcken, with Janina Minge, Lineth Beerensteyn, Justine Kielland and Rebecka Blomqvist getting the goals. 

The She-Wolves now have one more week to fine-tune their preparations and switch back to competitive mode ahead of hosting a relegation-threatened FC Carl Zeiss Jena side at the AOK Stadion on Monday 3 February at 18:00 CET.

Goals 

  • 1-0 Minge (pen. 7’): Minge converts from the penalty spot, placing the ball down the middle.
     
  • 2-0 Beerensteyn (pen. 42’): Another penalty, but this time Beerensteyn grabs the ball and coolly buries it into the top right-hand corner.
     
  • 3-0 Kielland (45’): What a goal! Jule Brand feeds the ball to Kielland, who curls it into the far corner. 
     
  • 4-0 Blomqvist (62’): An inch-perfect cross from Sveindis Jonsdottir finds Blomqvist, who executes a textbook header into the right-hand corner.

Reaction

Tommy Stroot: We were great today. I saw a lot of the things that we’ve been working on in training over the last few weeks. Now we have to carry this over into league competition and do more of the same next week.
