The FC Bayern footballers surprisingly dropped points in the Bundesliga. At promoted team 1. FC Nürnberg, the German champions couldn’t get past a 1-1 (1-0) draw.
The early lead of national striker Lea Schüller (11th minute) was equalized by Medina Desic (72nd) with a penalty kick. Thanks to Munich’s draw with the second-to-last team in the table, VfL Wolfsburg can take the lead at the end of the 10th matchday. The prerequisite is a win on Monday evening against Werder Bremen (7.30 p.m./DAZN).
Bayern also didn’t benefit from the fact that playmaker Pernille Harder, who came on as a substitute in the second half, celebrated her return after a long injury break at the Max Morlock Stadium. After the penalty kick caused by captain Glodis Viggosdottir, Giulia Gwinn and Jovana Damnjanovic missed the best chances to win in the final phase.
Coach Alexander Straus’ team has a chance of making amends before Christmas. In the Champions League, the Munich team will face Ajax Amsterdam on Wednesday (6.45 p.m./DAZN). After three matchdays, FC Bayern (5 points) leads Group C, just ahead of AS Roma, Ajax (4 each) and Paris Saint-Germain (3).
