Football: Hattrick and dream goal as Wolfsburg beat Galatasaray

It was an early celebration for home team Wolfsburg when Galatasaray came to visit.

First, seasoned Alexandra Popp struck in the third minute and after a quarter of an hour she also scored two goals.

And in the 31st minute came a real dream hit.

The ball landed at Janina Minge’s feet and she sent the third ball of the match behind the Galatasaray goalkeeper.

At the end of the match, Popp completed a hat-trick via the forehead – and just like in the last meeting, Wolfsburg won 5-0.

– We could have won by much more. But we scored five goals and that’s a good starting point. If we continue as we have done in the last few games, then everything is possible, says Minge.

Wolfsburg are now third in Group A, with two games left to play. Galatasaray is jumbo after four straight losses.

Rebecka Blomqvist started the match and was replaced in the 68th minute.
