FC Bayern wins pop duel against record backdrop

Kick off the women’s Bundesliga

FC Bayern wins with record backdrop – Jokerin overrides

At the start of the new season, Bayern was against a record set against the previous year’s fourth. The spectators were allowed to cheer late – then twice.

FC Bayern won the opening game of the women’s Bundesliga. In the Allianz Arena, the Double winner woke up late, but ultimately defeated Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 (0-0). The “Werkelf” started aggressively and presented the Munich women with some challenges, but in the end the first three points are on the side of Bavaria.

Newcomer Vanessa Gilles redeemed her team in the 76th minute when she headed 1-0 after a corner kick. Bayern coach José Barcala showed a good hand with his substitution of Klara Bühl: the German international scored the first goal and increased only two minutes later.

By the way: 57,762 fans came to the Allianz Arena on Saturday. This exceeded the previous record of 57,000 fans at the cup semi-final between Hamburger SV and Werder Bremen in the Hamburg Volksparkstadion last March.

90th minute +5: The final whistle. FC Bayern defeats Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 at the start of the women’s Bundesliga. The guests started with more speed and energy, but they remained too harmless in the offensive game. Bavaria also benefited from the substitute Klara Bühl. The German international put on the first goal with a corner kick, only to meet two minutes later.

90th minute: There is five minutes on top.

86th minute: The Munich women now have the game firmly in their hands. In the meantime, Leverkusen changed again: Valentina Mädl has come into the game for Kögel. On the side of Bavaria, Arianna Caruso replaced Damnjanovic.

80th minute: The spectators rise. European champion Georgia Stanway leaves the place. For them, Lena Oberdorf comes into the game. The national player celebrates her Bundesliga comeback after suffering a cruciate ligament rupture last summer.

78th minute: Gate for FC Bayern! Damnjanović prevails on the right side and sees the Bühl. The joker takes the ball directly – and increases against Leverkusen to 2-0.

76. Minute: Gate for FC Bayern! It should work in the third attempt: After a corner from Bühl, newcomer Vannesa Gilles is tapping the highest and hits your head to 1-0. The Allianz Arena trembles.
