Eintracht Frankfurt joined Wolfsburg in the quarter-final of the UEFA Women's Europa Cup after their 4-1 aggregate win over PSV. Gwyneth Hendriks’ seventh minute red card for a professional foul meant the Vrouwen Eredivisie side nearly played the entire game with ten players, but they only lost 2-1 in Frankfurt.
Liz Rijsbergen scored at both ends before Rebecka Blomqvist's winning goal at the hour mark. Three of the four goals by the Swedish attacker this season came in European competitions. Blomqvist's former club Wolfsburg booked their place in the last eight with a 10-0 aggregate win over Feyenoord.
Wolfsburg will face Danish side Brøndby in the next round, while Real Sociedad will be Frankfurt's opponents after knocking out Fenerbahçe. Niko Arnautis’ side reached the semi-finals in the inaugural competition last season.
The quarter-final games will be played in February 2027 with two-legged ties. Frankfurt will have the home advantage for the return leg, while Wolfsburg first host Brøndby. Only Frauen-Bundesliga will have two representatives in the last eight of Europe's secondary competition.
