Wolfsburg romp into Women's Champions League group stage

Wolfsburg completed a 12-0 aggregate rout of Fiorentina on Wednesday to book their spot in the group stage of the Women's Champions League.

The two-time champions strolled to a 5-0 win at home to the Serie A side, rubber-stamping the dominant 7-0 victory they recorded last week in Tuscany.

Fenna Kalma opened the scoring on Wednesday in the third minute, before Vivien Endemann scored a brace either side of halftime.

Jule Brand made it four on 77 minutes and Tabea Sellner rounded off the rout with one minute remaining. Fiorentina's Lucia Pastrenge then collected her second booking to cap a chastening two-legged tie for the Italians as they finished with 10.

"I'm extremely proud of the performance again today," said Wolfsburg coach Tommy Stroot.

"Going out with a 7-0 win last week and a 5-0 win this week makes a coach very happy."

An extra-time winner by Nazlican Parlak edged Galatasaray into the group stage following a 4-3 win on aggregate against Slavia Prague.

The 100th-minute strike ensured a 2-1 away win on the night for the Turkish side, after the match finished 1-1 in normal time.

There was late drama in Portugal as well as Cathinka Tandberg's goal in the 95th minute gave Swedes Hammarby a 2-0 win at Benfica to progress 3-2 on aggregate.

Norwegian team Valerenga beat Belgians Anderlecht 3-0 at home to complete a 5-1 aggregate win.

On Thursday, Arsenal will look to overcome their 1-0 aggregate deficit at home against Sweden's Hacken, while Manchester City seem set to qualify for the group stage after winning 5-0 at Paris FC last week.

Real Madrid will welcome Sporting Lisbon to the Spanish capital, leading 2-1 thanks to Melanie Leupolz's last-gasp winner in the first leg.

And last year's semifinalists Paris Saint-Germain will need to come back from 3-1 down to keep their hopes alive when they host Juventus.

Barcelona, Lyon, Bayern Munich and Chelsea have all automatically qualified for the group stage of the Women's Champions League.

The draw will take place in Nyon, Switzerland on September 27.
