It was a superb low delivery from Gerhardt that was screaming for somebody to get on the end of it, and there was Baku at the back post to do exactly that.
GOALLLLL!!! And the hosts lead! Baku is the scorer as he smashes home from a Gerhardt cross from the left after some good interplay with Otavio. Gerhardt played the ball low across the face of goal and Baku sneaked in at the back post to turn it home and make it 1-0.

The home side kick us off and we are underway.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the Champions League group stage match between Wolfsburg and Salzburg.
The home side come into this game bottom of Group G having not won any of their first three games. They lost to the Austrian side 3-1 away from home last time out and will look to get a better result against them here in the return fixture.
The visitors meanwhile are currently top of the group and remain unbeaten so far in this season’s competition. They will look to add more points to their tally here and put themselves in a really strong position to progress into the knockout stages.
WOLFSBURG (3-4-3): Koen Casteels; John Brooks, Josuha Guilavogui, Maxence Lacroix; Ridle Baku, Aster Vranckx, Maximilian Arnold, Paulo Otavio; Lukas Nmecha, Wout Weghorst, Yannick Gerhardt.
SUBS: Felix Nmecha, Renato Steffen, Dodi Lukebakio, Kevin Mbabu, Pavao Pervan, Jerome Roussillon, Daniel Ginczek, Maximilian Philipp, Micky van de Ven.
RB SALZBURG (4-4-2): Philipp Kohn; Rasmus Kristensen, Jerome Onguene, Maximilian Wober, Andreas Ulmer; Nicolas Seiwald, Mohamed Camara, Brenden Aaronson, Luka Sucic; Noah Okafor, Karim Adeyemi.
SUBS: Daouda Guindo, Benjamin Sesko, Chukwubuike Adamu, Oumar Solet, Nico Mantl, Kilian Ludewig, Bernardo, Maurits Kjaergaard, Mamady Diambou, Antoine Bernede, Alexander Walke.
Home manager Florian Kohfeldt makes four changes from his side’s last Champions League games with the likes of Guilavogui and Weghorst coming into the starting lineup while Mbabu and Lukebakio drop to the bench.
The two teams make their way onto the pitch.
That sets us up for an exciting second period as both sides will look to seize momentum and get three crucial points. Both teams have showed they are capable of hurting the opposition, so which of them will be the ones to get the all important third goal?
Thanks for joining me for this coverage of Wolfsburg's 2-1 victory over Salzburg in Group G of the Champions League.
The win for the hosts lifts them off the bottom of the group into second as they get their first win of this season's Champions League group stage. They will travel to Sevilla next as they look to carry on the momentum from this win. The visitors meanwhile remain top of the group but have now lost their first game. They will look to put this defeat behind them in their next game, when they travel to play Lille.
