Champions League quarterfinals highlights: Wolfsburg 2, Real Madrid 0

Two first–half goals were enough for Wolfsburg to beat Real Madrid.

VfL Wolfsburg earned a surprise 2–0 home victory over Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal tie on Wednesday. 

The underdog took the lead in the 18th minute just a few moments after Cristiano Ronaldo had a goal disallowed for offsides. 

Wolfsburg's first score came after the referee awarded a penalty to Wolfsburg following a Casemiro foul on Andre Schurrle. Ricardo Rodriguez converted to give the Bundesliga side a 1–0 lead.
