DFB Cup: Footers of FC Bayern Munich celebrate victory and double

The footballers of FC Bayern Munich are stormed by triple goalkeeper Lea Schüller for the first double of her club history. Four days after winning the German championship, the team of the outgoing coach Alexander Straus defeated the brave outsider Werder Bremen with 4: 2 (2: 1) in the DFB Cup final.

In front of 45,146 spectators in the sold -out Cologne stadium, the Munich women made an almost consistently sovereign appearance. National player Schüller (6th, 65th and 79th minute) and Carolin Simon (30th) scored the goals.

Rieke Dieckmann (45.+2) had sparked the hopes of the Bundesliga seventh with her goal. Larissa Mühlhaus (90th+4) scored the second goal of the Bremen in added time. In the end, the Bremeners were able to comfort themselves with a respectable performance and a premium of 100,000 euros, FC Bayern received 50,000 more as the title winner.

Last year Munich lost the final with 0-2 against VfL Wolfsburg. After the permanent rival has recently brought the cup in series ten times, Bayern now celebrated the second triumph after 2012.

At the favorite, Lena Oberdorf did not make it into the squad in front of the eyes of national coach Christian Wück. The return of the world -class player after surviving cruciate ligament tear is delayed. It is still a good two months up to the European Championship in Switzerland. “It would be negligent if we were to do the door now,” said Wück in the ARD. “The decision will not make me, the decision will not make Bavaria, but will make it alone.”

So far, the Bremeners had lost all previous 18 competitive games against FC Bayern. The Werder fans gave courage and their team a lot of noise in front of the big backdrop. After just a few minutes, however, the Hanseates were behind: Giulia Gwinn’s ball jumped back from the crossbar, Schüller headed from ten meters.

Bremen’s coach Thomas Horsch had left midfielder Juliane Wirtz on the bench and only brought it shortly before the end. Florian Wirtz’s older sister had recently returned after a long injury break.

The Bayern women dominated from the start, even if goalkeeper Ena Mahmutovic had a light ball slipped at the beginning-without consequences. Chief coach Straus left Maria Luisa Grohs, who had given her comeback after cancer in March. “We believe that Ena is now the right goalkeeper for these games. She played the rhythm, playing many games after Mala’s illness,” said the Norwegian about Mahmutovic before kick -off at Sky.

However, Straus initially had to worry about his defensive. The music at FC Bayern played at the front: After a wonderful move over Jovana Damnjanovic and Klara Bühl, Simon banged the ball to 2-0 under the crossbar. The 1: 2 fell surprisingly: Duana Mahmoud’s cross used Dieckmann to score.

FC Bayern also put a lot of pressure after the break: the strong Werder keeper Livia Peng prevented a higher deficit against Pernille Harder, among other things. Then the top of the header was on the spot again and headed 3-1 – the preliminary decision before scored her third goal.
