Bundesliga Club VfL Wolfsburg lost 2-0 (0-0) to Bayer Leverkusen on Sunday to see the table below. Paulinho, who scored two goals in the final stages, became the winner of the Rhinelanders.
After all, the way the game was lost made VfL participants shake their heads after the final whistle. At 85 minutes, the “wolves” were perfect on defense. Later, when the guests counterattacked, no one was able to stop Paulinho, who came on as a substitute. “The goal scored in the 86th minute should not happen. There should be better defense,” he said Captain Maximilian Arnold in an NTR interview. “What happened in the last six minutes is unacceptable,” said coach Florian Goffelt.
“We give it. It’s something that needs to be planted deep in our heads. It’s not possible. That’s a quality question for me too.”

Understandably, VfL Wolfsburg still had a lot of potential. In fact, it lost one point in the final, but in reality it could have been three points against the third-placed Bundesliga player. It was a lot better, but in the end it was useless. After the day of the 27th match, the Wolfsburg league got into even more of a normal state – and there are even worries about the exit.
VfL captain Arnold scored almost a dream goal
VfL Pros initially showed that they took their coach’s criticism to heart after the game at SC Freiburg (2-3). The Lower Saxony team started with a commitment against the leading team, giving Amin Attlee (15th) a slight deficit in the first half except for one chance and playing boldly forward.

Thus there were two great opportunities to gain the lead. First, Lucas Enmecha missed a good through ball from Maxense Lacroix with a shot from Bayer goalkeeper Lucas Hrdecki (17th) from the right side of the penalty area. Arnold then prepared the ball for a free kick 30 meters away and caught it intact. It almost became a dream destination. Hrotechi ran in the direction of his top left corner corner and deflected the ball into the crossbar (23 ‘) with his fingertips. However, there is not much excitement in section one. The game is flat.
The “Joker” Paulinho shocks Wolfsburg with a brace
After the restart, it was fine again. Wolfsburg provided highlights: Enmacha was suddenly in a good position after a pass from Max Cruz, but he slipped when he hit the target (49th). Shortly afterwards Jonas Wind put the ball on the pole from a distance of 16 meters (56th). As confident as the beginning was, it continued to relax. Still: The meeting was a very sad affair.
Shortly before the end of regular time – despite a poor result for the North Germans: Paulinho, who came on as a substitute five minutes earlier, took the goal from the edge of the penalty area and scored 1-0 (86th). ) Pao Pervn, who replaced Goen Castells (hip problem), did not perform well. Paulinho made it 2-0 in the second minute of extra time – and ruled out pure frustration in Wolfsburg.
