Rekördchen in Wolfsburg: European women's football has been breaking records for months. 38,262 fans saw the London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham. At Lyon against PSG were also over 30,000 spectators in the stadium and the international match between England and the DFB-Eleven were even 77,768 people in the Wembley Stadium. And in Germany? As meet with the VfL Wolfsburg and FC Bayern within a week twice the two best clubs and after 1400 spectators in the cup match in Munich (3: 1 for Wolfsburg) came this time 3245 interested in the Wolfsburg Stadium. This is after all a season record in the Bundesliga - the Bundesliga record is 12.464 spectators in 2014 at the game between Wolfsburg and Frankfurt.
The result: It looked a long time after a victory of VfL, but the FC Bayern succeeded late compensation to the final score of 1: 1 (1: 0).
First half: It could have started for the Munich women in the game of the last championship chance not worse. Alexandra Popp was free in front of the goal after a cross pass in front of her own penalty from Kathrin Hendrich, who is already on the index in E-Youth. She pushed into the left corner (4 minutes). Goalkeeper Laura Benkarth, a week ago in the DFB Cup with two errors involved in the departure of Bayern, had no chance, but this time showed a strong performance with parades against Ewa Pajor (12) and Popp (38).
Women in Lederhosen: Led by Rückhalt Benkarth, the Munich women were the better team before the break. Lineth Beerensteyn crossed the ball on the 20th (20 '), but after a mistake by Wolfsburg goalkeeper Hedvig Lindahl, Jovana Damnjanovic stumbled from close range (38') and again Beerensteyn was blocked from close range in stoppage time. This spurred on some Wolfsburg fans who subtly acclaimed the "Men's Lederhosen" from the men's Bundesliga.
Second half: Although substitute Mandy Islacker equalized after a mistake by national player Sara Doorsoun (77.), Wolfsburg showed a better performance. The VfL let the guests play the game and came over counter to many good scoring chances. The best awarded Sara Gunnarsdottir on presentation by Anna Blässe (67) and Pajor, the free-standing on Benkarth and failed again at the goalkeeper (75.). The additional margin of substitute Fridolina Rolfö beheaded Amanda Ilestedt from the goal line.
Video evidence: In the Bundesliga women no video assistants are used. A paradise for romantic football fans who see their sport robbed of their emotions. However, those who have made friends with the video evidence for reasons of justice, could hardly bear the two disused offside goals of Pajor (61./75.). At least at the second goal was in the TV picture offside position can not be seen - two minutes later, the balance fell.
Recognition of the game: In the 16th competitive match of the season, VfL Wolfsburg got their first points division. For the Munich women, the draw means that they are not yet completely out of the championship race. But the gap is still in the table six points, between Wolfsburg (28 points) and Bayern (22) is still the TSG Hoffenheim (25). It is hard to imagine that the title is not going to Wolfsburg for the fourth time in a row.
