Women’s Bundesliga: FC Bayern marches – Gwinn injured

The women of FC Bayern Munich continue to march forward in the Bundesliga. With a safe 2-0 (2-0) win at Werder Bremen, coach Alexander Straus’ players showed a reaction to the botched start to the Champions League during the week. Even after eight match days, the German champions remain unbeaten and sit just ahead of VfL Wolfsburg (19) with 20 points.

Controversial opening goal – Gwinn out injured

In Bremen’s constant rain, Magdalena Eriksson (2nd) and Katharina Naschenweng (24th) made things clear early on against harmless Bremen players. It was the sixth clean sheet game for FCB, who have only conceded three goals in the Bundesliga so far. With Eriksson’s early lead, Munich were lucky that referee Nadine Westerhoff did not classify captain Glodis Viggosdottir’s tackle on Bremen goalkeeper Livia Peng as a foul.

Afterwards, Bayern had everything under control and the game played at a manageable level. There was a shocking moment shortly before the end when Giulia Gwinn had to be substituted injured. The national player received a blow to the shin during a duel. Straus didn’t want to risk anything before the duel in the premier class against Paris St. Germain on Thursday (6:45 p.m.) and took the full-back off the field.
