Bayern have not yet managed to pose a threat. This is mainly due to the fact that Jovana Damnjanović and Lineth Beerensteyn are rarely able to assert themselves in one-on-one situations. In the VfL defence, Wilms, Janssen and Co have made a very solid impression so far.

13:16
After a long pass from the center of midfield, Pajor Kumagai runs over with ease. The Pole is carried too far out and passes the ball to Huth. The national player tries a long cross ball from the right side of the far post. The cross is a little too long, which means that Sveindís Jónsdóttir can barely get the ball to his toes. The leather rolls over the baseline two meters from the goal.

13:12
Sveindís Jónsdóttir is put through with a through ball on the left. The Icelander tries it from a tight angle with a combination of shot and cross. The hitherto erratic Janina Leitzig lets the ball slip through her fingertips, but the ball continues to roll in the direction of the corner flag without a Wolfsburg player being able to take advantage of the situation.
32
13:08
On the other hand, the Bayern defense does not get a cross ball far enough away again. Huth grabs the ball 25 meters from the goal and pulls in from the left half. Her conclusion with the right foot on the long upper corner is a good bit too high.

13:07
Finally a shot from FC Bayern. Klara Bühl has a lot of space 25 meters in front of goal and tries a shot from a central position. However, the attacker misses the ball and her low shot goes wide of the left post.

Yellow card for Dominique Janssen (VfL Wolfsburg)
Bühl conquers the ball on the right offensive side against Janssen, who grabs a rather violent tackle from behind and hits her opponent on the heels. Yellow is definitely correct.
26
13:04
Kumagai sends Lineth Beerensteyn into the alley with a long pass, but the young Dutchwoman is caught by Janssen when trying to cross.
25
13:03
After a high pass, Jovana Damnjanović is able to take a free kick on the left against the clinging Wilms. This sails to the far post, where a Wolfsburg woman gives Bayern a corner kick. But this one is just as harmless. The half-kicked standard can be kicked away at the near post.
22
13:00
The Munich women try to equalize the deficit again. Lineth Beerensteyn moves into the penalty area with a lot of dynamics, but is confidently put in place by Lynn Wilms, who has been very stable up to now.

Tooor for VfL Wolfsburg, 0:1 by Jill Roord
Wolfsburg leads! The Munich team didn’t defend far enough from a cross ball from the right. Lattwein follows up 25 meters from the goal and puts the ball over to Jill Roord. The Dutchwoman is not really attacked by Carina Wenninger, taking five steps towards the box and shooting the ball with a right foot from 18 meters out in the left corner. Janina Leitzig has no chance against the sharp and precise shot.

12:55 p.m
There is also the change. With Oberdorf, a very important pillar in Wolfsburg’s midfield is gone.

Substitution at VfL Wolfsburg: Lena Oberdorf

12:54
The Wolfsburg midfielder was able to get up, but was hobbled off the pitch by the supervisors. That doesn’t look very good.
15
12:53
Lena Oberdorf is down after taking Lineth Beerensteyn’s leg pretty hard. The Bayern striker was clearly too late in the duel. Although she pulls back a bit and only hits the opponent with her bent leg, the contact on the foot is of course painful for the Wolfsburg player.
12
12:49 p.m
VfL misses the first huge opportunity. Wilms brings a high and long half-field cross into the middle from the right, which Leitzig misjudges completely. The keeper sails wide, allowing Sveindís Jónsdóttir to head almost freely on goal. The offensive player does not hit the ball perfectly, which means that a Munich player who has rushed back can clear the ball before the goal line.
9
12:45 p.m
Felicitas Rauch tries a long through ball on the left touchline in the direction of Jill Roord, who started low. However, the 50-meter pass goes too far and can be picked up by Leitzig.
8th
12:44
Dangerous scene in the Bayern penalty area! After a long pass, Jovana Damnjanović physically solidly beats Oberdorf in the penalty area, who the Serbian then holds from behind. The Bayern striker falls but does not get a penalty. You could have decided differently.
7
12:43 p.m
The first degree belongs to VfL. After a cross from the left, Ewa Pajor climbs higher than Saki Kumagai and Glódís Viggósdóttir, but she can’t put the pressure on the ball anymore. Her header from ten meters out lands safely in the arms of Janina Leitzig.

12:41
The self-confident women from Wolfsburg are almost all in the opposing half when Munich have the ball and put pressure on the ball-carrying players. Nevertheless, Bayern manage to cover the first pressing line and penetrate on the left side. However, the subsequent half-court cross from Bühl is too far and sails into the gate.
3
12:39 p.m
Hendrich puts the ball too far in the build-up game, which Lohmann exploits and intervenes. However, their attempt to make the game fast ends in a bad pass. Wolfsburg is back on the train.

12:37 p.m
The semifinals are on! Bayern traditionally act in the red jersey, while Wolfsburg is dressed in light green.
12:33 p.m
Bayern and Wolfsburg face each other in a competitive game for the 45th time. In a direct comparison, VfL leads with 19 wins, 11 draws and 13 defeats. The last victory for the Munich team was in 2020, which means it’s time for a sense of achievement again. The players have entered the pitch and are waiting for the kick-off. With a good 2000 tickets sold, an atmospheric game can be expected today.
12:27
The Munich women have to take revenge against VfL without coach Jens Scheuer. The club announced via Twitter that the coach could not be there due to a corona infection.
12:08 p.m
Wolves coach Tommy Stroot made three changes despite the outstanding 6-0 win against Bayern. With Joelle Wedemeyer, Alexandra Popp and Tabea Wassmuth, three well-known players will leave the starting XI. Lynn Wilms will take Wedemeyer’s position at right back. Lena Lattwein replaces Popp in midfield, while Ewa Pajor will replace Wolves’ top scorer Tabea Waßmuth. As usual, VfL will start in a 4-4-2 system.
12:00 p.m
Bayern coach Jens Scheuer reacted to the 6-0 defeat in the Bundesliga game against Wolfsburg and brought in three new players from the start. A little surprisingly, the three German internationals Giulia Gwinn, Carolin Simon and Lea Schüller (2nd on the Bundesliga top scorers list) have to take a seat on the bench. Defender Carina Wenninger, midfielder Sydney Lohmann and offensive player Lineth Beerensteyn are in the starting XI. Tactically, a 4-3-3 system is to be expected, as in the last few weeks.
11:50
Contrary to the Munich women, things are going extremely well for VfL at the moment. The Wolfsburg team beat Arsenal 2-0 in the second leg of the Champions League and will face Barcelona in the semi-finals. In the Bundesliga, the leaders have won every game this year and were swept away in the top game against FC Bayern. Accordingly, the wolves are also favored today, although it is highly unlikely that it will be that easy again. On the way to the semifinals, the club beat Duisburg (3:1), Freiburg (3:0) and Sand (7:0).
11:46
At Bayern there is certainly a little more at stake today than for the women from Wolfsburg. The women of Munich have had absolute horror weeks. The unfortunate elimination in the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain was followed by a 0:6 debacle for today’s opponent from Wolfsburg. Due to the defeat in the almost decisive game for the championship, the DFB Cup is the last straw in this season. On the way to the semi-finals, FCB defeated Elversberg (6-0), Eintracht Frankfurt (4-2) and Jena (9-1).
11:36
Hello and welcome to the women’s DFB semifinals. FC Bayern Munich and VfL Wolfsburg meet on Easter Sunday. The kick-off in the Bavarian state capital is at 12:30 p.m.
