Wolfsburg Dominates Feyenoord as Dinkla Exits on Stretcher

Feyenoord faces a tough task ahead of the return leg on November 10 in Rotterdam after absorbing a 7-0 defeat against VfL Wolfsburg. VfL Wolfsburg won in the AOK Stadion with 7-0 and made virtually certain an end to the European adventure of the people from Rotterdam, as reported on Wednesday, October 28, 2026 (21:02) by 1908.nl. The Dutch side conceded an early penalty in the second minute, converted cleanly by Lara Prašnikar after unfortunate handball by Mia Schmid. Feyenoord goalkeeper Claire Dinkla initially kept her team afloat with several saves, but Cora Zicai struck twice, compounded by an own goal from Feyenoord goalkeeper Claire Dinkla. Shortly after conceding, Dinkla suffered a severe injury when she landed awkwardly on a teammate’s leg during a corner kick and had to leave the field on a stretcher, with Oliwia Szymczak taking her place.

The defensive collapse deepened before halftime, leaving the score at 4-0 at the break. Szymczak prevented an even bigger defeat with multiple saves.

Wolfsburg continued pressing after the break, with Wolfsburg extending its lead further after the spot thanks to a second strike by Prašnikar, a converted penalty kick by substitute Cecilie Fløe, and an own goal by Feyenoord defender Joni Paliama who had just been brought on. Earlier in the tournament, Feyenoord knocked out Anderlecht and Vålerenga. Oranje international Ella Peddemors started in the starting lineup for the number two of the German competition and played for an hour, alongside fellow international Lieske Carleer, with Wolfsburg having reached the Champions League final four times in the past ten seasons and standing as the heavy favorite for the Europa Cup.

Early Deficits Undermine PSV and Ajax

PSV mirrored Feyenoord’s early troubles against German opposition. Eintracht Frankfurt established a two-goal lead within the first fifteen minutes through Hayley Raso—the 111-fold Australian international—and Laura Freigang, who had been the provider for the opening goal and served as captain and star player of the number three of Germany, driving the hunt for more goals while herself missing a great chance at 0-3.

Ajax suffered a similar 2-1 fate at home against Malmö FF on De Toekomst, in a match starting half an hour later than the games of PSV and Feyenoord under trainer Anouk Bruil. American forward Isabella D’Aquila opened the scoring for the Swedish side in the second minute during a fast Swedish counter, while Malmö debuted in a European main tournament after being founded in 2019. Tuva Skoog doubled the lead near the hour mark by finishing a low cross that bypassed multiple Ajax defenders while she was left completely free.

Amber Visscher narrowed the deficit for Ajax following an assist from Sherida Spitse, after Ajax had threatened earlier in the remainder of the first half through distance shots and a header by Sophie te Brake. Ajax travels to Sweden on November 11 to contest the second leg, holding the narrowest margin among the three Dutch participants, while Feyenoord plays its return home match on November 10.
