The FC Bayern Munich footballers remain leaders in the Bundesliga. This is followed by VfL Wolfsburg. Eintracht Frankfurt was also successful and is firmly in the top group.
The German champions won 2-0 (2-0) at seventh-placed Werder Bremen on Sunday (November 19, 2023), with the goals scored by Magdalena Eriksson (2nd minute) and Katharina Naschenweng (24th) in front of 3,049 spectators in the 11th place stadium. ).
National player Giulia Gwinn had to be substituted early after a blow to her right foot (83′).
More controversial Opening goal
Bayern dominated early in the game, although the lead was controversial. During Eriksson’s header, Bayern captain Glodis Viggosdottir gave Bremen goalkeeper Livia Peng a push, causing her to fall behind the goal line and have no chance of fending off the ball flying in a high arc in her direction. The score was also 2-0 after a corner.
The Munich team, who were also superior in terms of play, could have made things clearer after the break, but they also missed the best opportunities. National striker Lea Schüller, alone in front of Peng, failed miserably when trying to lift the ball over the Werder goalkeeper.
Wolfsburg wins without any problems
Wolfsburg had previously defeated the winless bottom team MSV Duisburg 2-0 (2-0) on Saturday. Fenna Kalmar (7th) and Ewa Pajor (40th) scored for coach Tommy Stroot’s team.
