Google Pixel Frauen-Bundesliga In the top clash of the Frauen-Bundesliga, Bayern Munich displayed composure and quality to secure a 3–1 victory away at VfL Wolfsburg. For the reigning champions, it was not only a statement win in the title race but also the perfect response after a tough European setback.
Bühl Opens the Scoring
Both sides started at a high tempo, pressing aggressively and looking to impose themselves early. Wolfsburg had more of the ball, but Bayern were far sharper in the final third. In the 27th minute, Klara Bühl cut inside from the left, left Katharina Huth behind, and fired a precise low shot into the far corner to make it 1–0.

However, Wolfsburg’s joy was short-lived. Just nine minutes later, Momoko Tanikawa restored Bayern’s lead with a superb volley from 11 meters after Carolin Gwinn’s looping cross — a goal as spectacular as it was unexpected.
Red Card and a Late Knockout

Moments later, Alara sealed the result in style — dribbling past two defenders and curling the ball beautifully into the far top corner to make it 3–1.
