Bayern Munich showcased their dominance once again in the Frauen-Bundesliga as they secured a convincing 2-0 win against SGS Essen on Sunday. The visitors took an early lead with two first-half goals from Pernille Harder and Lea Schüller, establishing a comfortable advantage they would maintain until the final whistle.
Since her summer transfer from Chelsea FC, Pernille Harder has been in exceptional form and continued to impress against SGS Essen. However, her goal came at a cost as she suffered a collision with Essen goalkeeper Sophia Winkler while attempting to score in the 13th minute. Despite scoring, Harder was knocked out of the game due to the collision and was replaced by Lina Magull.
Bayern’s second goal came in the 24th minute, courtesy of Klara Bühl. From the right edge of the box, Bühl delivered a perfectly placed looping cross, and Lea Schüller capitalized on the opportunity, heading the ball home from in front of the penalty spot.
In the second half, Bayern Munich had several chances to extend their lead. Lina Magull, who had replaced the injured Harder, was presented with a golden opportunity by substitute Jovana Damnjanović. However, Magull failed to control the ball well enough to get a shot away. Earlier, Magull was also almost found in a similar position when Katharina Naschenweng slipped into the box and sent in a low cross, which was intercepted by the opposition.
The next match for the Bayern Munich Frauen team is scheduled for October 14th when they will face Eintracht Frankfurt as the hosts. The team aims to continue their winning streak and maintain their dominant position in the Frauen-Bundesliga.
