TSG Hoffenheim won their seventh victory on the 8th round of the women's Bundesliga. The team of coach Jürgen Ehrmann prevailed at home against the SC Sand 1-0 (1-0) and remains with 21 points in second place, three points behind the lossless champion and cup winner VfL Wolfsburg.
The Wolves won already on Saturday without the injured national players Alexandra Popp and Almuth Schult with 5: 1 (2: 0) against SGS Essen. "Surely, some have speculated that we leave points today - especially with our many failures," said VfL coach Stephan Lerch. "If you put such a performance on the field and win the game 5: 1, I can only take my hat off to the team."
FC Bayern Munich keeps up with the leading duo thanks to the 3: 0 (2: 0) victory at USV Jena. The hosts from Thuringia, meanwhile, continue to wait for the first season's success and are beaten off at the bottom of the table.
The 1. FFC Frankfurt defeated the MSV Duisburg 2-0 (1-1), the 1. FC Köln defeated the SC Freiburg 2: 4 (1: 1). Turbine Potsdam stopped the negative series on Friday evening with four defeats in a row and defeated Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 (1-0).
