TSG Hoffenheim Stuns VfL Wolfsburg 2-1 in Frauen-Bundesliga Clash

On September 18, 2026, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim secured a narrow 2-1 victory over VfL Wolfsburg at the Dietmar-Hopp-Stadion, marking Hoffenheim's first win of the Frauen-Bundesliga season. Chiara Hahn was the star, netting both Hoffenheim goals in the 25th and 68th minutes. Wolfsburg, despite dominant possession and numerous chances, struggled to find the net until Anny Kerim-Lindland equalized with a volley in the 66th minute, assisted by Sarai Linder.

The match saw intense competition, including a disallowed Wolfsburg goal in the early second half due to a foul on Hoffenheim goalkeeper Laura Dick. Just two minutes after Wolfsburg's equalizer, Hahn restored Hoffenheim's lead with a precise shot from the center of the box. Wolfsburg's efforts to equalize again were thwarted by goalkeeping heroics, such as Dick's save against a header from Lena Lattwein.

This loss ended Wolfsburg’s undefeated streak and cost them the top spot in the league standings, dropping them to second place as Eintracht Frankfurt won their concurrent match. Hoffenheim rose to tenth place with this vital win. Hoffenheim will next play SpVgg Greuther Fürth in the DFB-Pokal on September 27, while Wolfsburg prepares for their UEFA Women's Europa Cup match against Sturm Graz on September 23, followed by a DFB-Pokal fixture against SC Sand.
