Thanks to European champion Georgia Stanway, the FC Bayern Munich soccer team crowned their race to catch up with their second win in their second game in the Champions League.
On Thursday, coach Alexander Straus’ team won 3-2 (0-1) at Benfica Lisbon. The Englishwoman Stanway (83rd) managed to equalize late – and then the winning goal (90th + 8th).
In Group D, the Munich team is in second place, level on points with leaders FC Barcelona. Before Stanway’s late double pack, Maximiliane Rall (67th) had scored the 1: 2 from the Bundesliga side’s point of view.
Nycole Raysla (42′) and Canada’s Cloe Lacasse (59′) scored for Benfica.
