Bayern Munich topped SGS Essen 2-1 to stay at the top of the Frauen Bundesliga. It was a big win for the Bavarians, as the table in the league is currently very close! First and sixth place are separated by only three points.
Match Highlights
Bayern Frauen got the match started quickly with a goal from Klara Bühl in the 8th minute. Saki Kumagai played a nice ball over the top into the path of Bühl, and she blasted it past the goalkeeper for the lead. Maike Berentzen quickly equalized for Essen in the 14th minute after a brilliant counterattack.
Jovana Damnjanovic scored the winner in the 51st minute for Bayern. It’s her first goal in the Frauen Bundesliga since June 28, 2020! Hopefully, she’ll be able to use this tremendous moment as a springboard for the rest of the season.
