Injury-laden Arsenal matched Wolfsburg right to the very end of extra time but the visitors edged the Gunners to the Champions League final in a 3-2 loss at full time, 5-4 on aggregate despite Arsenal's efforts to come from behind twice.
Stina Blackstenius granted the home side the lead early on with a perfectly timed run. She chased the ball around Wolfsburg’s Katherin Hendrich and Merle Frohms and nudged it into the back of the net in the 11th minute.
Jill Roord’s volley half an hour later brought the game back on level terms just before the break. Alexandra Popp then nodded the ball beyond Manuela Zinsberger to take the lead, swiftly cancelled out by Jen Beattie’s header.
