Newswire From a news agency Outcome reported
  • Wolfsburg came from behind twice to beat Werder Bremen 3-2 in the women’s Bundesliga.
  • Camilla Küver scored in the 88th minute and in stoppage time to complete the comeback.
  • Mara Alber’s equalizer was notable because she played for Werder last season and had missed Wolfsburg’s only penalty in its Champions League shootout defeat to Inter Milan.

Four days after missing out on the Champions League, VfL Wolfsburg produced a dramatic comeback against Werder Bremen. The “Wolves” won the northern Bundesliga derby 3-2 after falling behind 1-0 and 2-1.

Werder took the lead in the 14th minute when Belgium’s Luna Vanzeir capitalized on a serious defensive mistake by Wolfsburg. Mara Alber equalized in the 57th minute, a particularly significant goal for the 21-year-old, who had played for Werder on loan last season.

Alber had also endured a painful moment for Wolfsburg the previous Wednesday, when her penalty was the team’s only miss in the shootout against Inter Milan. Her celebration against her former club did not last long. Elena Dhont restored Werder’s lead in the 64th minute.

Wolfsburg refused to give up. Ella Peddemors struck the crossbar in the 77th minute before Camilla Küver turned the match around. She scored in the 88th minute and again in the fourth minute of stoppage time to secure the 3-2 victory.
