kevin de bruyne's thunderbolt volley earned vfl wolfsburg a 1-1 draw against losc lille after a divock origi penalty had given the visitors hope of a uefa europa league group h win.
goalkeeper vincent enyeama looked set to return to france to a hero's welcome after a string of fine saves defined a backs-to-the-wall losc performance. the nigerian international made a flying intervention to deny ivan perišić in the first half, and an even more spectacular one to fend away a josuha guilavogui shot after the break.
incoming substitute nicklas bendtner passed up two decent opportunities after enyeama had twice frustrated perišić – once on the line from a corner, then after the croatian was sent through one-on-one – and losc appeared poised to gain maximum value from the goalkeeper's work as they were awarded a penalty for a handball in the box. origi stroked his spot kick low and just beyond diego benaglio's outstretched left hand to score.
however, a nolan roux miss a few minutes later proved costly for losc as de bruyne met a clearance from a corner with a bullet volley that powered into the top corner, barely giving enyeama a chance to move. however, he produced another superb stop at the death, getting a hand to naldo's header to preserve losc's point.
