Wolfsburg has secured a place in the Europa League play-offs after beating Hertha BSC on penalties in their Champions League qualifier.
The Bundesliga side were dominant throughout the match and deservedly took control of the game from the off. They were clinical in front of goal, scoring three goals in the first half and putting the game beyond doubt.
Valencia midfielder Florian Waldschmidt was handed the responsibility of taking Wolfsburg's spot-kicks in the shootout, and he delivered a perfect performance, converting all three penalties to secure victory for his team.
Arnold, who had previously been out injured, returned to the squad for this crucial fixture and played well in midfield. He provided some valuable defensive cover and helped to keep the Hertha attack at bay.
As a result of this impressive display, Wolfsburg have now climbed to fourth place in the Bundesliga table, just two points behind second-placed RB Leipzig.
This is a huge boost for the club, who will be hoping to build on this success as they look to challenge for the title next season. With their form so strong, there is no reason why they cannot achieve this.
Overall, it was a fantastic performance from Wolfsburg against Hertha BSC. They showed great composure and determination in the face of pressure, and were rewarded with a much-needed win. It will be interesting to see how they respond going forward and whether they can continue their current momentum into the rest of the season.
