The women of FC Bayern lost their home game against VfL Wolfsburg just 1-0.
Coach Jens Scheuer was not dissatisfied with the performance.
Munich - As professional athletes, the soccer players at FC Bayern are used to quickly ticking off negative experiences and not thinking too much about what could have been.
Nevertheless, one can assume that some scenes of the top game, which was lost to VfL Wolfsburg in the campus stadium 0: 1, haunted the players for the rest of the weekend.
Because there were more than enough chances to win the duel against the big rival and stand out at the top of the table in the women's Bundesliga.
For example, when Linda Dallmann was cleared by Klara Bühl after half an hour, but with her direct acceptance she just missed the goal.
Or the good half dozen top-class opportunities, all of which were thwarted by the outstanding Wolfsburg goalkeeper Almuth Schult.
When Schult was overcome once by striker Lea Schüller, the goal did not count, as referee Karoline Wacker had previously decided on an offensive foul by Viviane Asseyi.
"For me that was the best home game that we have played so far."
FCB coach Jens Schauer after the defeat against VfL Wolfsburg.
While the Bayern women desperate at Schult, the former Bayern player Kathrin Hendrich was granted the 1-0 winner in one of the few Wolfsburg chances. "I can seldom remember a game against Wolfsburg in which we created so many chances and allowed so few," said Carina Wenninger, who has been defending for Bayern since 2008, surprised. “That was the best home game for me that we have played so far,” said coach Jens Scheuer: “Wolfsburg probably doesn't know how they won the game yet. Of course I'm disappointed, but not with my team, but with the result. I think we had shots on goal 12-2. Even if Almuth Schult has held superbly, a goal simply has to be scored. "
Due to the defeat, Wolfsburg overtook the Bayern women in the table.
After almost a third of the season, Frankfurt and Hoffenheim are also at the top, the women's Bundesliga is more exciting than it has been for many years.
The Bayern women could probably do without this tension.
Even if the performance against the she-wolves, who are in the midst of a change, was convincing, the results of the last few weeks are not.
Champions League and Bundesliga: Everything is still possible for the women of FC Bayern Munich
In mid-October, the team gambled away a victory in Frankfurt, which they had already believed to be safe, with two goals conceded in the final minutes, and against VfL it was the second defeat of the season.
That is one more than in the entire championship season.
Then there is the 1: 2 in the Champions League at Olympique Lyon.
"We want to regain the championship lead as quickly as possible, and I have great confidence that we can do it," said Lineth Beerensteyn fiercely.
Everything is still possible, the Bayern women can defend the Bundesliga title on their own and move into the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
But the defeat against Wolfsburg has to be ticked off quickly.
Because Bayern are no longer allowed to leave many points.
