WOLFSBURG, Germany: Wolfsburg held on to beat visiting Arminia Bielefeld 2-1 on Sunday for its first win of the season in the Bundesliga.
Sven Schipplocks 80th-minute strike gave Bielefeld hope of a point and prompted the home side to scramble to prevent an equalizer for what would have been its fifth consecutive draw in five games.
Manuel Prietl struck the post minutes later but it was as close as the visitors came.
Two goals in two minutes from Wout Weghorst and Maximilian Arnold in the 19th and 20th proved to be enough for Wolfsburgs first win at home in the league for eight months.
Werder Bremen was hosting Hoffenheim later.
