Wolfsburg beat Juventus to reach UWCL quarterfinals

Two-time champion VfL Wolfsburg reached the quarterfinals of the Women's Champions League by winning 2-0 away at Juventus in their playoffs on Thursday.

Wolfsburg advanced to a 13th quarterfinal in 14 seasons with a 4-2 aggregate score after the German club rallied from two goals down at home in the fist leg last week to draw 2-2.

The Germans set up a quarterfinal against record eight-time European champion Lyonnes.

Vivien Endemann opened the scoring on a fast counterattack in the 18th minute when she collected a pass from Svenja Huth inside the box and slotted a low right-foot shot past goalkeeper Daniëlle de Jong.

Ana Capeta came close to equalizing when she hit the crossbar with the best of numerous chances for the hosts before substitute Cora Zicai scored the second in the sixth minute of stoppage time.
