London, February 13 Sarai Linder scored in the fifth minute of added time as Wolfsburg rallied from a two-goal deficit at home to draw 2-2 with Juventus in the Women's Champions League playoffs.
Manchester United took a significant step towards the quarterfinals after a 3-0 win against Atletico Madrid on Thursday.
While the match appears to be decided, it remains in the balance for Wolfsburg and Juventus. Linder ensured the score was level just before the second leg in Turin next week, scoring an equalizer from close range in the final moments of added time.
"It feels like a win to get the draw in the last minute," said Wolfsburg coach Stephan Lerch.
Juventus took a 2-0 lead just after the hour mark at the AOK Stadion. Ana Capeta opened the scoring in the sixth minute, and Amalie Vangsgaard doubled the lead in the 61st.
However, Wolfsburg rallied in the final 10 minutes of regulation time.
Janina Minge sparked the comeback by converting a penalty in the 82nd minute.
As the clock ticked down, it seemed like Juventus would hold a narrow lead going into the second leg, until Linder struck.
"We were playing well, but we didn't really create many clear-cut chances. In the end, we deserved the draw, and now next week it's still open," said Wolfsburg's Lineth Beerensteyn.
