Spielbeginn und Aufstellungen
00:09:41
00:09:41 The message loud and clear, Germany to host Euro 2029. Georgia Stanway, Paula Reimann, the two captains, Annalena Heidenreich, our referee this evening, backed up by Lea Brankamp, Christoph Nichols and her namesake, Annalena Weiss, on the sidelines.
00:10:11 A look at the visitors line-up now, head coach Jose Barclay making no less than six changes to the Bayern München side that beat Freiburg 4-0 last Tuesday. Julia Gwin makes her first start since the knee injury that took her out of Euro 2025, while Magdalena Eriksen replaces Glaudis Vigorstotir in the heart of defence. Elsewhere, Sara Zadrazil's knee ligament tear forces a change in midfield as Ariana Caruso comes in. Elsewhere, Alara, Penila Harder and Natalia Padilla-Bidas making her Bayern debut.
00:10:41 Das sind die anderen, frischen Faces.
00:10:46 Borussia Dortmund taking on Bayern München. DFB Bokade Frauen debutantes against double winners. But this is no ordinary third tier side. The ruffians from the Ruhrpott looking to get one over their blue-blooded Bavarian counterparts. Borussia Dortmund looking to channel their inner David and cause an almighty upset in the first round of the DFB Bokade Frauen. It is enough to give you goosebumps.
00:11:13 Und es all geht auf in ein paar Minuten.
00:11:37 It has been raining, it has been pouring, but I can guarantee you it will not be boring tonight.
00:11:49 in the men's game it's known as der Klassiker in the women's game it's a classic David versus Goliath cup clash Borussia Dortmund against Bayern München DFB-Pokal der Frauen debutantes against the double winners but can Bayern avoid an almighty upset as they begin the defense of their DFB-Pokal crown James Sarraga du match commentator and delighted to have the pleasure of your company
00:12:14 für heute's encounter in der Stadion Rote Erde. Es ist eine Rekord-Breakung, und Pennella Harder mit der ersten Chance des Spiels gespielt wird von Laura van der Lahn. Die erste und nicht die letzte Saison, die sie heute machen müssen. Bayern wird zuerst verletzen, Dortmund wird zufrieden, aber das ist nicht der Weg sie wollten, das Spiel zu beginnen.
00:12:48 A match-up with huge traditional value. But a first in the women's game today. The hope is that this will be a fixture we see more often in the future. Borussia Dortmund, the underdogs from the third tier, the Reganer Liga Vest. Surviving the early shock to the system, Pernilla Harder.
00:13:17 Good bit of goalkeeping in the end from Lara van der Laan. Penila Harder still searching for her first goal of the season.
00:13:34 Alara, auf der run gegen Friederike Kemper. Und du kannst sehen, Borussia Dortmund sind in mehr einer 5-4-1 Formation, als die 4-3-3 put auf die Team Sheets. Markus Högner, der Head Coach, spricht über die need für Flexibilität und Variabilität. Sie wissen, dass sie unter der Kosh für die Majorität dieser Spiel werden. Und bereits Bayern mounten die Pressure, Klara Bühl.
00:14:06 Awkward bounce. Stand wait. Can't squeeze the pass through. Now the chance to break for Dortmund in transition. Oh, terrible touchroom. Jasmin Jabez. Bit of a rush of blood to the head there. Or the Dortmund wing up. But those are their moments. Can they seize upon them in transition?
00:14:32 Vanessa Gilles with another raking pass to Clara Buhl. Buhl has two in the middle to aim for. Picks out Caroline Simon edge of the area. Tidy cross, dangerous header. And another save for Van der Laan. Ariana Caruso arriving with the little box-to-box run.
00:14:58 One of the stars of the show for Italy at Euro 2025 and what a European Championships campaign they had in the summer.
00:15:11 Tonight Caruso benefiting, it's horrible to put it that way actually, but benefiting from the injury to Zahra Tadrasil. We wish her a speedy and successful recovery. The Austrian international picking up a knee ligament tear in the win against Freiburg. Mahmoudowicz's pass goes astray, picked up by Steinweick. Unfortunately can't turn it into anything, the home side.
00:15:42 Some loose first touches from those in black and yellow. They need to tighten things up. They want to gain a purchase in this game. Markus Herkner, the head coach, talking about the fact that it has to be a perfect day for Dortmund if they want to pull off what many believe is the impossible.
00:16:07 And yet they'll have looked at a game like the one Bayern had against Carl Zeiss Jena on home soil. A 0-0 draw against a side that were bottom of the table coming into that match. Heavy favourites to be relegated from the Frauenbundersliga this season. And Dortmund would have seen that game and thought, well hold on, if they can hold Bayern, then maybe we can as well.
00:16:31 Padilla-Bedas versucht ihr Pace zu gut effect, macht ihr Bayern eine lange-awaitet für Natalia Padilla-Bedas, die in 2023 hat sie mit Köln mit Köln und Sevilla. Jetzt ist sie wieder mit Bayern auf den Buchen. Hopen sie auf die erste Start zu capitalise.
00:16:57 Caruso holding onto the ball a little too long there. Pocket picked by Yasuo Verne.
Borussia Dortmunds Aufstieg im Frauenfußball
00:17:32
00:17:32 The name Borussia Dortmund, has a reputation that comes with it in German and World Football. Two Champions League Finals, they've won the Bundesliga three times, three DFB for card titles since the turn of the century alone. But when it comes to the women's game, the club is still in its infancy.
00:17:58 They are giants of the Ruhrpott region. The club only founded in inception in 2020. Their first competitive season was the 2021-22 campaign. And they made the admirable decision, the humble decision of starting in the seventh tier of German women's football. Unlike other big name teams that decided to start a little higher up the pyramid, they decided to really work their way up organically. And yes, they have capabilities that teams around them don't.
00:18:31 Das ist warum sie gewonnen, die Promotionen in jeder Saison, die sie spielen haben. Sie begonnen in der Kreisliga, dann in der Bezirksliga, dann in der Landersliga und letzte Saison in der Westfalenliga. Sie sind die Champions auf jeden Fall.
00:18:56 And now a Clara Boo corner. Watch out for Vanessa Gilles. Those who love to combine in these situations. Oh, it's a dangerous dip of the ball right into the danger area. Boo will get another bite at the apple. Decides to drive a little further wide.
00:19:13 So wonderfully gifted with both feet, Klara Bühl. Many a head coach has referred to her as one of the best two-footed players that they've ever worked with. German national team head coach Christian Vuck, chief amongst them. Penelahara with the golden opportunity inside a minute here.
00:19:45 Das ist eine Teezing Ball und Eriksson ist in ein bisschen trouble hier in der Footrace. Sie hat gerade die Positionierung richtig, um Steinway zu finden.
00:19:56 Unter pressure again, though, gives it away. Steenweich playing the ball into feet for the captain, Paolo Reimann. And a few moments now that have got the home crowd at the Stadion Orte Erde Boyd. A record-breaking attendance for a women's game here in Dortmund. 15,755 after the original capacity of 10,000 was raised after the tickets were sold in record-breaking time. It is just further...
00:20:24 Acknowledgements appreciation attention being drawn to the women's game that it deserves here into the penalty area but again dealt with and it was the Dortmund fans that drove the idea of the women's team several years went by where it was being brought up at AGM's
00:20:49 And finally the fans will listen to the club deciding to venture into the women's game Svenja Schlenker the head of women's football was given the task of basically building the team from the ground up
00:21:02 And as she pointed out, this is the biggest match in the young history of Borussia Dortmund in the women's game. A highlight moment, but one that they want to enjoy and seize upon as Bühle and Harder combine. Clara Bühle, lovely footwork, but didn't quite get the shot she was looking for in the end. Sent wide.
00:21:53 Ericsson wins the ball, but just in that moment in terms of the build-up play from Borussia Dortmund, that's where you can tell they're not quite your ordinary third-tier side. But this might be the biggest match in the club's young history, as their head of women's football, Schlenker, pointed out. But it's also the biggest test of where this side are right now, because I think it's fair to say everyone expects them to.
00:22:21 not breeze through the third tier but have a pretty comfortable time of finishing near the top of the table if not at the top of the pile and of course that doesn't automatically lead to promotion the Reagan our Liga is broken down regionally they are in the West Division Dortmund and they have to take on the other regional champions in a promotion playoff tournament
00:22:49 Bühel, wieder hat sich die Ball einfach auf der Toz. Strong challenge von Steinweich. Ericsson ist für den Foul. Markus Höchner, Jose Barkeler da.
00:23:14 Backeler macht seinen DFB-Pokal-Debut. Markus Högner, der Mann, der von SKS Essen in der Sommer, hat er in der Sommer gegründet. Der DFB-Pokal-Der Frauen-Frauen-Final ist ein Rekord. Ein Rekord für SKS Essen. Er war der Rekord-Trainer, der Rekord-Breakend-Head-Coach. Über 300 Games in all der Spiele.
00:23:41 And now the palms sung by Puhl. Another save for van der Laan. They're racking up the chances now Bayern. And already the Dortmund keeper proving very busy indeed. So far though equal to all the efforts.
00:24:16 Gilles to Stanway, back to Vanessa Gilles. Three goals in five games for the Canadian gold medalist winning Olympian. Oh lovely burst of pace by Padilla Bidas, just overrun at a touch.
00:24:35 Credit to Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Laura van der Lange, he really is stepping up for the cause in the early stages. That wasn't the most convincing save. So we get a look at the referee's perspective on the ref cam. Nice little innovation here in the DFB Pokal der Frauen. Taking in this wonderful competition from all angles.
00:25:05 Tonight, knockout football. Fjordal purists. Dortmund and Bayern, two giants of German football. But in the women's game, this is a clash of giants and minnows. Got a wonderful backdrop, wonderful atmosphere. Bit of colour, bit of vibrance, vigorous support as well. It is the red and white of Bayern against the black and yellow of Dortmund.
00:25:44 Bayern versucht zu schreien in den ersten vergangenen, eine Flurre von Chancen. So far, aber keine Schöne zu zeigen. Foul throw, gegeben gegen Karoline Simon, eine der meisten Experten-Women aktiv in der Spielzeit.
00:26:08 Sie haben gesagt, dass wenn man ein Titel wie der DFB Pokal gewonnen hat, wie Bayern das letzte Mal, gewonnen hat, eine erste erste-historische Domestik-Double.
00:26:19 She says then ultimately it is the demand that you win every game following. She said, of course, beyond the demands, it's still the dream of these players to win the Day of People card title again and defend it. As a result, she underlined that Bayern are taking the task at hand against Dortmund incredibly seriously given the incredible progress they've made.
00:26:42 Es war es nicht möglich, nicht zu sehen, wie Dortmund kam auf den starken Wissen, mit den riesigen Erwartungen über den Klub zu kommen. Quarter of an hour played. Bayern ist natürlich sicherlich, dass Dortmund nicht mehr auf den Schuss auf den Ball so far haben. Lauer Van der Lahn hat zu machen, 3 guter saves zu machen. Vielleicht wird er in die Aktion wieder hier. Harder mit der Hedda. Kannst du es auf den Tag.
00:27:26 Incredible turnout for tonight's game.
Chancenreiche erste Halbzeit von Bayern und Führung durch Harder
00:27:52
00:27:52 Capacity crowd of over 15,000. A record-breaking attendance for a women's game here in Dortmund. A special setting for a special game, and we're hoping for a special 90 minutes. Right now, truth be told, Bayern are underlining their status as favorites, and yet Borussia Dortmund are taking the fight to them, and that's the best we can hope for tonight.
00:28:15 Die Fußball-Gods werden sehr dankbar sein, wenn Dortmund all die Räder wollen. Aber der DFB-Boppelkader Frauen ist eine Runde, die sich selbstverständlich macht. Strangere Dinge passieren. Wir haben nur eine Runde in den ersten Rädern gehabt. Frauen-Bundersieger-Sieger-Nürnberg wurde von 2. Tier Ingolstadt gespielt. Harder. Strikes, aber es wurde von Steenweich gedreht.
00:28:44 Vanila Harder ist noch für die beste Form seit dem Thigh-Injury in Euro 2025. Oh, sie findet Buhl, die sich auf die Körner schlägt, Klara Buhl! Again, es ist Laura van den Laan, die sich auf die Körner schlägt.
00:29:13 Sie denied Harder, sie denied Bühl.
00:29:20 It is a prerequisite of any performance against Bayern. Your goalkeeper has to be at their very best to stand any chance of taking all three points in a league game or in tonight's context, knocking them out of the day of Pipokal at the first hurdle in their title defence. It really would be unprecedented. What Bayern really want to do is start putting a run of form together like Wolfsburg did before they took the title off them last season with a helping hand from Hoffenheim, of course, who knocked them out of the competition.
00:29:49 But for Wolfsburg, it was 52 straight wins in Germany's Seoul Cup competition. Ten straight titles before Bayern emerged victorious last season.
00:30:03 It was Hoffenheim who knocked out Wolfsburg with a 1-0 win. Ereletta Mehmeti with that moment of history. Bayern then knocked out Hoffenheim, came from 2-0 down, courtesy of a Penila Harder hat-trick, to book their ticket to the final, where they then went on to beat Werder Bremen in what was a pulsating game. A real wonderful advert for women's football here in Germany. Werder Bremen, the clear underdogs, gave a good account of themselves, but truth be told, Bayern's quality shone through in a 4-2 win.
00:30:35 Die Post-Match-Celebrations. Die Celebrations-Celebrations-Celebrations-Celebrations-Celebrations-Celebrations-Celebrations-Celebrations-Celebrations-Celebrations-Celebrations-Celebrations-Celebrations-Celebrations-Celebrations
00:31:03 Nothing to celebrate so far, though, for Bayern. Maybe from this Simon corner. Drilled in, and oof, Reimann, the captain, didn't want to take any risks there at the near post. Heads behind for another corner.
00:31:22 Even in the heat of battle. Stanaway. Van der Laan. With a cheeky grin. Simon again. Ericsson was there with the header. Loops over. It's worth noting, I mean, look how close the advertising boards are to the pitch. And as a result, you can tell, Caroline Simon doesn't really have the space to maybe have the run-up she normally looks for. Still, the deliveries have been good.
00:31:50 That one goes long and everyone made the run to the front post. Truth be told, even if they'd run to the back post, they probably wouldn't have got on the end of it.
00:32:15 Es ist in 2014 und 2020, dass Markus Högner guidet Essen zu der DFB Bokardef-Farwin-Final. Sie verloren auf beide occasions zu Wolfsburg. Bayern, zwei-time winners von dieser competition. Sie haben gewonnen es in der letzten Saison. 2012 war die andere Zeit, dass sie ihre Hande auf diese gewisse Silberware gewonnen haben.
00:32:38 Das Domestik-Double war die gewünschte Glück, die gewünschte. Oh, dear mei, I hold the thoughts, because that was a terrible pass von Mahmutevich. Ericsson got it all wrong. Dortmund looking to pounce von Mahmutevich mit der ersten Saison. A self-inflicted wound almost there von Bayern. Annika Enderler mit der Effort von Range.
00:33:03 Might have crept in that near post, you never know. Mahmutowicz couldn't take the chance. Harder on the turn wins the 50-50. Now there's space for Bühl. Steenwijk dies in and gets the challenge right.
00:33:16 Und das sind die Momenten, die Fans werden nur so viel als würde ein Goal gewonnen haben. Steenwijk wieder hat es zu tun. Das ist die Zeit von Jäbez, der die Ball weggebracht hat. Harder, in behind hier. Looking für eine Frau in red. Finds niemand.
00:34:12 Bayern just trying to settle after that hairy moment at the back but again a third tier side and look at this ambitious press from Borussia Dortmund Dana Markwart close to
00:34:29 Und das ist es, dass Bayern mehr Qualität haben.
00:34:55 But Dortmund are really giving as good as they've got. There you can see some big names in attendance. Karsten Kramer on the left of your screen. He's the chairman. Hans-Joachim Watzke has Joe Bellingham sat next to him. Joe Bellingham, nice to see him taking in a women's game here in Dortmund at the Stadion Rorte Erde. Next to Hans-Joachim Watzke, who is the CEO of the club.
00:35:19 Und das ist es, Karsten Kama, der Präsidentin, hat unterliegt, dass Borussia Dortmund die vollen Unterstützung von der Klub in der Frauen-Departement wird. Der Ziel ist, dass sie alle Saison weiterentwickeln, in seinem Wort, als Harder hat die Flagge gegen sie. Van der Laan hat noch den Weg gemacht.
00:35:42 Ich denke, es war offside, aber natürlich hat es keine Video Assistant-Refereing-Technologie. Harder wurde von einer offside Position getrennt. Ich denke, sie hat es gemacht. Es ist immer eine schwierige Calle für die Linesen.
00:36:30 Dortmund are doing well to win the ball from the Bayern players, what they're not doing a great job of so far. And this is easier said than done, of course. But it's retaining possession when they do win it. Markus Hergner made the point that in a game like this, you need moments of calm. You need moments to catch your breath, resettle, reset. And right now they're being very reactive.
00:36:55 To the Bayern performance Which is all good and well in the initial exchanges is very difficult to do for a full 90 minutes And yes, Borussia Dortmund are not your average third tier side physically They have more Professional infrastructures in place than many of the teams that they compete against in the third tier as they did in the fourth fifth sixth and seventh Divisions of German women's football hence the rapid rise But as
00:37:23 Svenja Schlenker, die Head of Women's Football, pointed out, from here on out it gets a little bit tougher. Yes, the boarder expecting a quick climb. The ambition is to play in the Frauenbundesliga as soon as possible, in her words. Cheeky there from Alara, unnecessary as well from the youngster.
00:37:43 Oh, brilliant play!
00:38:12 In midfield, Zara Ito. Lovely footwork, Harder pleads her innocence, but...
00:38:21 Und jetzt hat sie komplett auszahra Ito. Und die Referee, look at die view sie hat von dieser Führung. Von der Japanese Midfielder, Delightful. Oh, Loose pass, und Alara ist auf es in der Flash. Alara, zu öffnen die Schöne, direkt an Van der Lahn. Caruso, Strikes, und Lahn again saves. Und diese Zeit, Harder pounces.
00:38:48 Bayern hat die Leid, die sie gestalten haben. Laura van der Laan hat alles gehalten. Die Doppel-Safe konnte nicht sein, als ein Triple.
00:39:01 Und Pernilla Harder hat die erste Spiel über die neue Jahrzehnte, um die Waffe zu setzen, gegen die DFB Bokal-Debutante. Zahra Ito, die wir nur für die Führung für die Führung im Mid-Field haben, hat die Ball gewonnen. Wanderlern hat die Fortschritte von Alara und Caruso gewonnen, aber Pernilla Harder ist in der Zeit, in der Zeit, in der Zeit, um es zu tun.
00:39:31 und Van der Lahn's Heroics, finally foiled. Magnificent view of all the action here, and the final finish as well. Harder getting there, just a touch ahead of Kemper. Bayern have the goal that, truth be told, their dominance deserves.
00:39:59 A goal that had been coming, and it's delivered by their top goalscorer from last season, Pinala Harder.
00:40:43 And now a real test for Borussia Dortmund, one they probably expected to face, but how do they respond to the adversity? Bayern were always going to have more of the ball. They were going to carve out chances. They found the clinical touch now thanks to one of their most clinical players, but did Borussia Dortmund muster up a fight back?
00:41:04 The last thing they'll want to do on a night like tonight, given the context of this game, the historic first ever in the women's game between these two institutions of German football. They certainly won't want to collapse and come away ruining what has been a special night for them so far, and even despite defeat tonight, can still be a special night.
00:41:35 The reaction from the fans in attendance at the live draw for the first round really was exceptional. The excitement was palpable immediately. The disbelief almost that Dortmund and Bayern were drawn against each other because this is Borussia Dortmund's first ever time in the DFB Pokal der Frauen. They got here courtesy of a 3-1 win against Borussia Dortmund in the qualifiers.
00:42:01 Harder looked to be offside there, but they passed too long anyway from Simon. That game against Borussia Mönchengladbach was played in front of three and a half thousand fans. Goals on that occasion were from Ronja Leibner, Annika Endela and Dana Markvart.
00:42:59 Well, the opening goal has certainly done nothing to silence the home crowd. Not that you would have expected to. They'll have come here with a sense of realism. But the fact is, they are here to back their women to the hilt. Clara Bull backing down Steenwijk. Ball into the box, all pings around. There was a hint of handball about it, but waved away by the referee. Anna Lena Heidenreich.
00:43:50 It does feel cruel on Laura van der Laan, that in that last moment, her backline were not there to provide some of the saving graces that she had already in this game. But Bayern had been racking up the chances. The goal felt inevitable.
00:44:27 Simon goes back to Clara Boo And this is where Barnes experience really will show as well in the way they managed this game from here on out But I'll look for more goals and they get one here
00:44:56 Vanila Harder doubles her tally and either side of the half-hour mark Bayern have now really seized the initiative in this first round cup tight Vanila Harder one of the stars of the show that Dortmund we're gonna have to keep quiet
00:45:20 The first finish. A Poacher won the second. Phenomenal. Lovely touch to take it past her marker and then a rocket into the near corner. Hadn't scored a competitive goal before tonight. Now she gets two in quick succession. Welcome to the goalscoring ranks of the new season, Penila Harder.
00:46:18 Not the cleanest challenge you've ever seen from Arianna Caruso there. Lost the ball, then just left out a leg to take out Marcat.
00:46:50 Teased in, it's dangerous as well, and Reimen, the captain, was closest to getting on the end of it, but the offside flag was up on this near side anyway.
00:47:16 Seize the run of Alara all the way through to the Dortmund goalkeeper though.
00:47:59 Oh, Harder, da war ein kleines Stück für Simon im Hintergrund, aber der Pass ist nicht gespielt von Pernilla Harder. Caruso mit Dortmund collapsing der Linie, die Sprengung der Linie wird gespielt, das ist ein Teesing Ball, zu Kvinn. Julia Kvinn. Kroos, auf. Aber wieder Dortmund cleared der Linie straight, zu Bayern wieder.
00:48:30 Need to try and find their moments, but again, that is so much easier said than done. Steinweig.
00:48:38 So many of these Borussia Dortmund players, this is their highest calibre of opposition they've ever faced. A very steep learning curve. Bayern aren't exactly going to show mercy along the way, are they? Yes, Bayern will recognise that Dortmund have a few players in their ranks with Frauen Bundesliga experience in the past. Markus Högner even talked about it, the fact that this project is so promising.
00:49:02 Aber viele Spieler, die bei Teams höheren waren, auf die German-Women-Football-Pyramid haben, haben sie sich in Dortmund geöffnet. Es war ein sehr starkes Rümmer, an einem Moment, die Alex Popper Wolfsburg, die German-Women-Football-Legend, mit ihrer Favourite-Klub. Es könnte noch passieren, das Traum könnte noch sein, es könnte noch passieren. Es ist nicht dieses Sommer.
00:49:27 Maybe with promotion to the second tier, that dream can be revived again. Because it's clear, Alexandra Popp would love to play for Borussia Dortmund. Having grown up in the Ruhr region, born in Wittem. A Dortmund fan growing up. Look at the likes of Rita Schumacher, Friederike Kemper, Annika Endele. Have all plied their trade at the highest level of German women's football.
00:49:58 all of them of the belief that they can help Dortmund reach the promised land for the first ever time Clara Bühl better safe to sorry approach there from Magdalena Ericsson
00:50:29 Plenty of Bayern fans have made the trip north to the Ruhrpott region for this game at the Stadion Rote Erde, which is right in the shadow of the Signal Iduna Park. Markus Hürgner, the Dortmund head coach, asked whether he's disappointed that it wasn't that venue for this game. He said, well, it would have been lovely, but I don't think we would have been quite ready for that. Here comes Dortmund with a rare chance to break forward.
00:50:57 Und da sind keine Qualität, die sich in den Futschreiten in den Futschreiten.
00:51:25 Oh, lovely touch from Harder. And from Boo. They're on the march here Bayern. Dortmund a little stretched. And Boo losing out there against Steenwijk. She's making some good challenges. Jenske Steenwijk.
00:51:52 Padilla, Bidash, she'd love to have a highlight moment in her Bayern debut.
00:52:33 The battle rages on at the heart of the park. Zahra Ito, again under pressure, again does well just to wriggle free momentarily, but the outlet pass straight to the feet of Gilles. And she plays in! Perdia Bidas, who clips the post with the effort. On her Bayern debut, how she'd love to get a goal, and ever so close she came there.
00:53:04 think she was maybe making the point that it got a touch of a Dortmund player which would suggest she was going for the cross more than the shot there Natalia Padilla beat us two goals in 18 appearances on loan with Cologne but 11 goals in 29 for Sevilla last season
00:53:25 Eight of those 11 goals being scored in the calendar of 2025, but she's had to be patient in waiting for her first appearance as a Bayern player. Many wondered why it didn't come in the games against Leipzig or Freiburg. But her debut appearance sees her thrust into the starting lineup.
00:53:52 Steinweich tried to stay touch tight to Boo there and went clattering into her and Boo stood her ground and asked the question of the referee as to why that maybe wasn't penalized. Cheeky ball over the top looking for Endela. Nice idea from Rito Schumacher there. But the verticality of the pass was always going to favor Mahmoutovic.
00:54:27 To Alara, shaping the shots and just wide from Alara. That's a couple times now that Bayern have come close to a third. I think Dortmund could do with the halftime break now just to catch their breath after what has been a very intense first half being played at a level that they are not used to and have never played at before.
00:54:54 Because their records are remarkable, make no mistake, but they have slowly made their way up from the seventh tier to the third tier now. As a result, they've never actually lost here on home soil. They've never drawn a blank here on home soil. You look at their goal-scoring records from the last four seasons. They scored 143 goals in the Kaisliga. They did it again, 143 in the Patiksliga. 124 in the Landesliga and 115 last season in the Westfalenliga.
00:55:25 They are so used to being a cut above their opponents, and now their opponents are a cut above them. We're pointing out, there's nothing to be ashamed of from Dortmund's perspective. 2-0 down to a Penila Harder brace here on home soil against Bayern München, the three-time defending Frauenbundesliga champions, the double winners from last season. Dortmund are not here just making up the numbers, there's no doubt about that.
00:55:57 Well cut out the pass from Alara there at the back Tuck on the shirt of Steenwijk, so it tells me we'll have a few kit swaps come the end of the game but they gotta wait until then
00:56:27 One minute of time added on at the end of this gripping first half.
00:56:50 Lofted forward, a rare moment to get the ball in the Bayern box, but it's straight into the gloves of Ina Mahmoudsvich, who under Jose Barclay has been named the new number one for Bayern. Taking over from Mala Gros. She has already come on leaps and bounds, Ina Mahmoudsvich, joining Bayern from relegated Duisburg.
00:57:16 A few teething problems at the beginning, where she had to get used to playing the ball at her feet a little more often. Now Buhl, finding Simon, pokes it towards goal. Was there a hand in the mix there? Anna Lena Heidenreich decides not to point to the spot. Caroline Simon sharing a few words and opinions with their referee.
00:57:40 Es sieht aus, dass es etwas in das ist. Aber man könnte sagen, dass Jasu Wern, die Hand, die die Ball war, kam über sie, und so, als resultierend, die Ball war. Nicht ein großer Moment, um zu verändern, um das Spiel zu verändern.
00:57:58 Well, in a battle of DFB Bocardefrauen debutantes against the double winners from last season, the favourites are on top. Pernilla Harder getting her first goals of the new season, bagging a brace either side of the half-hour mark to put Bayern firmly in control of this DFB Bocardefrauen first-round tie as they look to begin their title defence. At the break, it's Borussia Dortmund 0, Bayern München 2.
00:58:37 Untertitelung des ZDF, 2020
01:12:41 mit der 2-0-League-League-League
01:13:09 She was in fine form at the Oktoberfest recently. The Bayern women's side have twice made the trip to the 190th Oktoberfest already.
01:13:33 Some social media videos that gave fans an insight into what an experience at an Oktoberfest table with Fines women might be like. And Tuber Hansen had a very interesting choice of eyewear. The goggles are still knocking about from the back end of last season. Wait to see who she has replaced.
01:13:55 And I'm hearing that it's Magdalena Eriksen. So she'll slot in at centre-back as opposed to in her more natural positions either on the left or right wing of a back four. Magdalena Eriksen wouldn't say she had her most convincing performance as a Bayern centre-back at the back and a couple of foot races that she didn't look convincing in and perhaps that's the reason that she has been brought off here at halftime.
01:14:25 Tuva Hansen. Approaching her 75th appearance for Bayern. She's never scored a goal for the Bavarians, the Norwegian international.
Zweite Halbzeit und Ausblick
01:14:44
01:14:44 Second half underway at the Stadion Roter Erde. A record-breaking crowd in what is proving to be a record-breaking season in German women's football. And tonight history made the first ever clash in the women's game between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern München. This is a fixture that has a great history, great tradition, great weight and reputation behind it in the men's game where it is known as Der Klassiker, the classic.
01:15:09 Und das war die Monika, die vorhin war, die zwischen Bayern München und Borussia Mönchengladbach. Aber in der modernen Zeit ist es Dortmund und Bayern, die zwei Powerhouses der deutschen Fußball, die das Titel getroffen haben. Und wir bekommen den Klassiker hier in der ersten Runde der Germanwomen's Cup.
01:15:30 Bayern, die Favourites, 2-0 up. Coming into the second half, Pernilla Harder getting her first competitive goals of the season. Two coming along in quick succession. To put Bayern in a commanding position here against the third tier side from the Regener Liga West. Whose goalkeeper, Laura Vandenlaan, produced a phenomenal first half performance. Were it not for her, Bayern might have led by 3, 4 or 5. Unfortunately, her...
01:15:59 Heroics were foiled eventually by Penilla Harder Bayern's world-class quality coming to the fore as they wanted it to they took this game very seriously Dortmund a team making a rapid rise through the German women's football pyramid
01:16:25 James Surrogatio match commentator delighted to have the pleasure of your company for this second half wait to see whether there might be a response from Borussia Dortmund on the score sheet very few chances mustered up so far from the home side who have the backing of this incredible crowd surely enough to give them a push but even a push not quite enough to close the deficit in quality on this world-class Bayern team
01:16:50 they are the number one side in german women's football there's no doubt about that the domestic double just underlining that fact last season the club made history with their first ever league and cup double they want to defend that title this season they want to defend both titles Buhl with the cross harder on the move Hyman got ahead to the ball but Bayern will get a corner for their efforts here
01:17:40 klara booze corners always capable of causing chaos and she'll attacks but doesn't get there it pounces all the way through to patia beat us here two for company gonna have to try and wriggle free unable to of spanish descent natalia padilla beat us but she plays for the polish national team
01:18:08 22 years old, and she's already approaching a half century of appearances, including three she made at Euro 2025. A goal scored against Piniella Harder's Denmark side. And a big moment for her tonight, Natalia Padilla-Bidas making her Bayern debut. One moment that caught the eye in the first half. Otherwise, not many chances to make the desired impact.
01:18:54 Lovely touch there from Anne-Sophie Vogel. One of the three changes in the Dortmund line-up. Following their 3-0 win over Deutz 05. That was a win that would have taken them to the top of the Regener Liga West.
01:19:06 We're on the front foot here looking for a chance Gilles with the touch not the most convincing piece of defending but the loose ball straight to Julia Quinn great to see her back on a football pitch after suffering that knee ligament injury not quite a full tear but enough to provide a real scare for Julia Kevin given the fact that she has two nasty knee injuries behind her already in her career
01:19:41 Sie kamen auf der Bühne in der Wien gegen sie vom Klub Freiburg. Sie sind jetzt mit der ersten Start des Spiels, Julia Gewinn. Dortmund haben sie geholfen hier. Chance für Bayern. Sie haben sie wieder paddelt. Klara Bühl, eine der besten in deutschen Women's Sportball, die nur so hart ist. Sie können sie zurückkehren. Und Lara hat über die Snapshots gedacht, dann hat sie besser gedacht.
01:20:07 once again drifting wide try and stretch the Dortmund back line that does keep collapsing into a five woman back line instead of the four that was put on the team sheets before the game fin marauding forward losing out
01:20:35 A truly magnificent support here at the Stadion Rote Erder, and they have not been silenced despite the 2-0 lead for Bayern. But as Karsten Kramer, the chairman, pointed out during a halftime interview with Sky Germany, Dortmund wanted to take the authentic approach to their rise through German women's football, and they wanted to be able to...
01:20:59 Transport fans with them and take them along on the journey. Look at the turnout tonight. It's just...
01:21:07 Proof of the fact that they made the right choices. It was a choice that raised a few eyebrows. Other bigger teams chose ultimately to get their license in German women's football straight in at the top tier or the second tier. Dortmund decided let's do it in the seventh tier. Let's build our way up. An ambitious project, but they didn't feel the need to rush. Right now they're reaping the rewards. Cross comes in for Bayern, put behind, not for another corner, but out for a throw.
01:21:46 But what many people feel is this is a little look into the future of German women's football. That Dortmund and Bayern will ultimately be competing at the highest level. If Dortmund in the next couple of seasons, they've got two more promotions. From the third year to the second and the second to the third. And if they can keep their track record of being promoted every season, they'll be in the Frauenbundesliga in no time. And then this fixture can start becoming a regular fixture of the German women's football calendar.
01:22:13 Weil es der Klassiker in den Manns-Games, wenn du in der Manns-Games-Games, der große Spiel ist jedes Jahr, ist Bayern gegen Wolfsburg. Und das ist der Weg für über ein Jahr, wohl über ein Jahr, Truth be told. Eintracht Frankfurt haben die Aspiration zu versuchen, die duopoli zu breiten.
01:22:32 So do other clubs like Leipzig, a bit like Dortmund, building their way up, slowly but surely. But ultimately with a few more capabilities than some of the other teams in the top tier. Took a look at the Dortmund substitutes warming up and unfortunately then you take a look at the Bayern ones and you see the complete difference in quality. Linda Dahmen, Lena Oberdorf, all ready to come off the bench for Bayern.
01:22:58 Not that they really need to dip into their quality, but Jose Barcala in his debut season on the Hot Seat has talked about the importance of managing squad minutes given the 14-team expansion that Frauen Bundesliga and the extra fixtures that come as a result and of course the desire to go deep in both the DFB Pokal, der Frauen and the Women's Champions League. Endela battling well, finds a ball out wide, cross comes in, hint of a handball in the...
01:23:27 Untertitel von Rieter Schumacher. Well won, though, by Raimann. Wenn Dortmund in den Bayern haben, müssen sie etwas machen. So far, es ist zu wenig in der Reihe. Marquardt, zurück. Es geht jetzt zu Vogel. Nur einen in der Mitte, mit der Cross.
01:23:58 Can they get anything out of it here, Dortmund? A half chance, a corner, a sight of goal. It's well won back by Zara Ito. First chance the high press from Dortmund has actually paid off properly.
01:24:21 Und für Borussia Dortmund, das ist der Debut in der Däfbüro Kader Frau. Und das ist der 30th Kampagne für Bayern. Aber als erwähnt in der ersten Hälfte, sie haben nur in der ersten Hälfte gewonnen. In den Finale fünfmalen. In den letzten fünfmalen Semi-Finals in acht der letzten neigen Seasons.
01:24:37 Jose Barclay macht sein Debut in der Karriere für eine gewünschte Wahl. Markus Högner, der neue Mann auf der Dortmund-Hotseite. Er hat einen 3-jährigen 3-jährigen Plan. Er hat sich gefragt, wo er in drei Jahren wird. Er hat sich gesagt, in der ersten Frauen-Bunderslieger. Er hat sich gesagt, dass er den Weg zu Dortmund gemacht hat, weil er das Gefühl hat, dass er etwas anderes gemacht hat. Nach so lange Zeit mit Essen, wo er der record-breaking Head Coach mit den meisten Appearances war.
01:25:07 Das war Markus Hörgner. Das war der Kandidat für die Head-Coaching-Roll.
01:25:36 Er hat auch gesagt, dass sein Mann ein Dortmund von drei Jahren hat. So, es ist eine große Verbindung zu BfLB. Er hat auch gesagt, Markus Högner, dass die Unterschiede zwischen SKS Essen nicht so groß ist. Dortmund. Er hat gesagt, dass es ein guter Level in Training ist, aber natürlich, dass es ein Lack von Erfahrung ist.
01:26:01 The big question tonight was whether Dortmund would sit back or find courage. And unfortunately Bayern's quality is so great that they have been forced to sit back. And the moments that they have tried to break forward, they haven't had the quality to play their way through the Bayern lines. One pass will always go astray, most likely at the vital moment. Steinweig there with the clearance, vertical. Unfortunately, Dana Markvart is not having a good time of it against high quality opposition.
01:26:30 Nine goals in five appearances already this season in the Regener Liga Vest. Look at her Dortmund career 17 appearances, 33 goals for the former Hamburg player. She could have been playing in the Bundesliga with Hamburg if she hadn't joined Dortmund, but again, that's the appeal of this Dortmund project.
01:27:18 Dortmund currently sitting 6 in the Rägener Liga West. And that is as a result of that win against Deutz being overturned. Dortmund are appealing the decision, which is made based on an administrative error. Right now the debate is to whether Zahra Ito was properly registered for the game against Deutz or not. If she was, then the 3-0 win for Dortmund will stand. Right now though, it's been noted down as a 2-0 loss.
01:27:53 Das wäre der zweiten Loss der Liga-Saison, nach einem 4-3-2-Fat zu Köln.
01:28:17 Setpiece opportunity for Bayern. To dig the dagger a little deeper. Raimann, the captain. With the clearance. And now the break might be on for Dortmund. Padilla Bidas was really using all her pace to get back there. But now so too is Jamez. And she's got Schumacher over. Jamez!
01:28:41 A moment to get the crowd fired up once again here at the Stadion Rote Erder. The best sight of goal that Dortmund have had all game. The first time they've been able to break on the counter. Simon didn't have the pace, James did. She really probably should have tried to pick out Schumacher. But with chances few and far between for Borussia Dortmund.
01:29:07 A moment of promise, a source of hope. A corner now. Floated in. And headed clear by the two goalscorer for Bayern Pernilla Harder doing the defensive duties there. Back into the mix from Steenwijk. Deflection on it and Gilles was trying to wait for the goalkeeper to come and puts it behind for a corner. The Inquisition goes on at the back. Mahmoudsvich had to come there and Gilles was right. The young goalkeeper not quite on the same page as the more experienced defender there.
01:29:37 Could this come back to bite by it? She made the call. She made the call, but Mahmuzovic didn't heed it. Schumacher floating another one in. It's going to come to Ito, and on the half volley mistimed the effort, and as a result, relatively.
01:30:03 Das ist eine sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr, sehr.
01:31:13 Hefty collision and there is cause for concern here. Substitution being indicated immediately here and you can see there Clara Boole and Caroline Simon. There's something, something's happened. Never nice in that situation.
01:31:42 Wasn't quite the hefty collision Steenwijk just trying to clear the ball and seems to have injured herself in the process She's been one of Dortmund's more impressive performance tonight Jenske Steenwijk
01:32:10 The last thing Markus Hergner needs is an injury to a key player. I think changes were at the ready there for Dortmund, but they're having to change their approach now following the injury to Steinweich. Perhaps a quick rethink when it comes to who is going to be coming off the bench now.
01:32:57 Das ist ein Schade, dass das wie die Nacht endet. Given die Wahrheit, dass sie sicherlich war, dass sie eine der besten Performance für Dortmund hier heute. Both defensively und going forward, Jenske Steenweich. Sie hat ihre Hände voll mit Klara Bühl. Sie hat ihre Moments in der Bayern-Half als auch.
01:33:23 Mia Burger now coming on for Steenweich Rita Schumacher making way as well Ronja Leupner the other one coming on
01:33:56 A moment that just took the rhythm out of this game that had been building in this second half. Again, mostly one-sided in Bayern's favour, but again, we had seen the response from Dortmund. A couple of half chances in quick succession. Is that the Bayern fans singing happy birthday to their head coach, Jose Barcala? Yesterday was his birthday.
01:34:19 44 years old now, the Spaniard. And making a good first impression as Bayern head coach. Big shoes to fill, Alexander Strauss and his golden era that delivered three league titles and the cup last season in the club's first ever domestic double. Brought in a real culture of success. As you can see there, Steinweig is still really struggling to make her way back to the dugout.
01:34:47 Such an innocuous moment as well. That's strange. Has she injured her hand? Is that...
01:35:02 I just assumed it was something muscular with the legs in the way that she went to ground in that challenge and pulled up, but maybe it's the landing and the hand and the wrist and a more vulnerable joint. Hard hit as Endel now tries to take on Gwin, unsuccessfully, but throw into Dortmund.
01:35:21 Hegner, the hunger, the intensity coming from the head. Oh, that looked like a terrible throw from Borgel, to be honest, but if he gets away with it, pass nicely dealt with in tight spaces there by Leibner.
01:35:56 Not a pleasant sight if you're a Borussia Dortmund fan or player. Bayern readying a triple change, but maybe a chance for a triple here for Harder. She's denied by the offside flag. That might be a final action of this game. Two goals already. Says it was tight, but every striker will. How tight is the question? Oh, not really, to be honest. She was well beyond the final woman there, Harder. Trying to time the run, not getting it right.
01:36:27 Es ist ein wenig in der zweiten Hälfte für Bayern, weil wir sehen Lauer Van der Lahn machen, die ersten Hälfte in der ersten Hälfte zu halten, sie hat sich in der ersten Hälfte nicht gespielt. Sie hat sich schon seit der ersten Hälfte gespielt. Und jetzt haben wir eine Bayern-Leute-Leute-Leute-Leute-Leute-Leute-Leute-Leute-Leute-Leute-Leute-Leute-Leute-Leute-Leute-Leute
01:36:57 Hence the weight on the sidelines and it is indeed Vanessa Gilles. Needing a bit of treatment here, the Canadian.
Zweite Halbzeit und Verletzungen
01:37:25
01:37:25 Und das, meine Damen und Herren, ist die Reaktion zu den Anrufen der Rekord-Breakten-Kroud hier an der Stadion Gorte Erde. 15,755 Fans in attendance, Sold-Out-Kroud für die Kapazität.
01:37:45 für die Visit of Bayern München, die double winners, taking on the DFB Pokal debutantes. This second half, I tell you what, it's been fairly evenly matched. If you took it in isolation, the action we've seen since the restart, you could make the argument that Dortmund wouldn't look out of place in der Frauenbundersiege. That's where they want to be in a couple of seasons' time. Sending well wishes to Jenske Steenwijk, making her way down the tunnel with that, looks like a potentially broken wrist or arm, which is...
01:38:14 Horrible way for her night to end, but now we're going to get a quadruple change. It was a triple. Now they've added Lena Oberdorf to the mix here. Jose Barcala and Bayern. As if they needed more quality out there on the pitch. Vanessa Gilles, I'm assuming, will be making way now that she picked up a bit of a knock.
01:38:34 Ah, the changes have been changed. Lea Schüller has been sent back to the bench. So it stays a triple change. But the Gilles injury has clearly forced a rethink. Nash and Weng will probably be coming on for Caroline Simon at left back in a like-for-like change. Maybe Harder makes way for Damjanovich. Lena Oberdorf. There is Caroline Simon that makes way.
01:39:04 klara bull is the one that comes off for damjanovic so i think what this means is that the back line for buyer now looks like from right back to left back julie kvin
01:39:21 Tuva Hansen, Lena Oberdorf, Katharina Naschenweng. A bit makeshift, but at 2-0 up I guess you can afford that. Right now Bayern's centre-back crisis worsens. Glaudis Vigosta-Tier dropped out of the starting line-up to manage her workload. Stina Balasaya getting a rest as well tonight. But now Vanessa Gilles might have picked up a knock.
01:39:47 Magdalena Eriksson didn't look fully fit when she was on the pitch tonight either. For all the talent and depth that Bayern have in their ranks, that centre-back department is talented, but it's not the deepest. That's why Bayern ended up signing Michelle Albrecht from Werder Bremen on loan in the second half of last season. She's probably gone back to Bremen because Bayern didn't want to retain her services long-term. It was there.
01:40:17 Plaster to paper over the cracks a little bit Bayern unbeaten in all competitions in the last 10 matches since that 4-1 loss to Olympic Lyon or OL Lyonese as they are now called
01:40:46 Die WM-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League-League
01:41:06 Now it's Jose Barclas' job and he's talked about the fact that Bayern need to present themselves as Champions League winners at all times. And I'd say they did that in the first half. I don't think they've done that in the second half. But there's an element now with a 2-0 lead where they can take their foot off the pedal. They can manage this game to its fruition. And they don't need to force the issue. The double winners.
01:41:29 Und wenn Dortmund wieder zurückkehren können, in den nächsten paar Minuten, wir haben nur unter 20 von normalen Zeit, dann muss man wissen. Strangere Dinge haben passiert, nicht nur in der deutschen Frauen-Football, sondern auch in der Däden der Karte der Frauen-Germain-Soll-Cup competition.
01:41:52 Last season it was in the first round that, excuse me, actually it was the second round, wasn't it? Because that's when Bayern entered the competition. Change of format this season, that's why we had the qualifying round which Dortmund beat Gladbach 3-1 in.
01:42:06 für bayern last season it was a 6-0 win against esse sand then a 2-1 win against freiburg followed by that after extra time victory against eintracht frankfurt so chance here clean off the line for dortmund katharina naschenwain to the rescue but the child's still alive here vogel can't pick out a teammate ito first at the loose ball endela looking to curl one but got the effort all wrong
01:42:39 and that is the end of the night for Friederike Kemper the center-back Heda Vala on in her place
Defensive Leistungen und Chancenverteilung
01:42:58
01:42:58 See, this is a defensive header from Lena Oberdorf, that Nash & Weng had to clear off the line, but definitely got there before the ball even started crossing it. Mahmoudsha, which was stranded. Again, a moment that maybe Dortmund can just take a bit of confidence from.
01:43:21 Because I don't think I'm mistaken in saying that they've had more goalscoring chances in this second half than Bayern have had. It was a very different tale of the tape in the first half. Bayern racked up the chances. Laura van der Laan racked up the saves.
01:44:09 Might be the time where it's worth pointing out that Bayern have a pretty strong defensive record So far this season four straight clean sheets in the Frauen Bundesliga coming into this game 362 minutes without conceiving before the start of tonight
01:44:42 so 446 minutes or seven minutes now and counting if I could do my quick math since Janina Minga scored a penalty to make it 4-2 in the DFL Super Cup played in front of a 16,000 crowd a strong crowd in Karlsruhe then of course Bayern opened their season at the Allianz Arena the domestic women's attendance record broken smashed
01:45:07 Well, no, actually, not smashed, because it stood at 57,000, and it was 57,762 at the Allianz Arena on Matchday 1, to see Bayern grind out a 2-0 win against Bayer Leverkusen. Had to be patient in waiting for their opener there. Vanessa Gilles got the first goal, Clara Boulle got the second. They started.
01:45:26 winning terms and then a blip on match day three against cars I seen are a goalless draw when they racked up 28 chances but only had five on target now Padilla beat us rare chance to break forward for by Alara picking up the pieces poor pass to Gwyn Dortmund able to clear their lines Nash and Weng under pressure from Jabez
01:45:59 Stanwijk, sie hat drei assists in der 4-0 win gegen Freiburg, um mit Oberdorf, Schuler und Klara Buhl für Goals. Nach dem Match, Jose Barclay sagt es war die perfekte Spiel, aber seine Seite hat es zu bleiben, denn da werden highs und lows zu kommen, um über den Kursen der aktuellen Kampagne.
01:46:29 Ah, das ist Pohr von Dortmund. Das sind die Momenten, wo sie sich selbst verletzten. Und das sind die steep learning-kurves, wo sie sich zu accept haben, in einem Spiel wie dieser gegen Bayern. Harder jetzt.
01:46:48 Es war der Hattrick in die DfB-Karl semi-finals gegen Hoffenheim last season. Flipped in now for Padilla Bidas. Bouncing around on the edge of the area, but it breaks. Vermeer Berle.
01:47:18 To go back to a quote from the head of women's football with Dortmund Svenja Schlenker who gave a wonderful interview with the club's website before this game Talking about the fact that the public interest was crazy Said that we were in for a colorful night with the floodlights on full stance
01:47:35 Is there a highlight moment in this for Dortmund? Because a goal back now wouldn't necessarily go down as a consolation effort. It might just be the lifeline they need to get back into it, but Markus Högner trying to gee up the home crowd a little bit from his dugout. They need a goal, they need a moment to really spark life back into the Stadion Rote Erde. They're still in good voice, but they could be even more influential if they want to be. Wala with the corner.
01:48:04 It goes deep, too deep. Paolo Heimann, the captain, doesn't want to give up on it. Good play, but all she does is give the ball away. Dortmund get it back, though, from the clearance. Are they going to have a moment to really enjoy some of the euphoria, the type of euphoria that can only be generated by the beautiful game of football?
01:48:41 knockout football for the purists pride and prestige legacy and legend at stake it is a night for heroines and villains right now the heroine is Pinilla harder for Dortmund Laura van der Lanu just clattered
01:49:02 in to Natalia Padilla beat us neither player was pulling out of that 50 50 the Bayern debutante against Dortmund's shot stopper supreme they rather took out each other didn't they
01:49:39 Now for Padilla Bidas, as we take a look at this from the ref cam, she took the knee of Vandalan right to the gut, to the chest, and I think had the win knocked out of her as a result.
01:49:51 Für Van der Lahn, das hat nicht nur eine spezielle Erfahrung gemacht für die Right Knee von hers. Sie hat eine Magnifizante gespielt, aber absolut nichts zu schämen. Weil es nicht für Laura Van der Lahn, Dortmund wird bereits in der ersten Hälfte sein und sie sind in der ersten Hälfte. Padilla Bidas ist apologetisch zu der Dortmund.
01:50:18 Und wieder, für Dortmund, das wäre der erste ever-defeat auf Homesau in der Kluft. Seitdem der Kluft in 2020 war, das ist auch die erste, die erste, die aufhören, eine blank hier auf Homesau und nicht aufhören. Und das ist wirklich...
01:50:35 Koncerning, it'd be a real shame if Van Delaan cannot continue. Hopefully she's just a bit shaken up by the clash. I think that looks like the way it's going to be, but Hergler, the last thing he would want is to lose his goalkeeper.
Körperbetontes Spiel und Bayerns Dominanz
01:51:12
01:51:12 Padilla, Pilas getting a little wiped down there from Jovanna Damianowicz, who I'm sure, given the way she likes to approach a game of football, will love the battling qualities there from the Polish international. Full-blooded, get stuck in, put your body on the line. Yes, it'll hurt sometimes, but on others, you will be rewarded. Damianowicz has made a career of that with her bullying style of play. Someone that really...
01:51:40 Just gets it at Bayern. The whole Mia san Mia vibe to life in Munich. That winning mentality, the desire to claim every title on offer.
01:51:56 Bayern aware they still have a few steps to be taken to really punch amongst the elite in European football, but in German football they are the standard setters. They have knocked Wolfsburg firmly off their pedestal to claim that status, and right now it doesn't look like it's going to be one they relinquish any time soon. They relinquish possession here with Dana Markvart, Kort.
01:52:31 Lena Oberdorf. Talk about no-nonsense defending. She really will leave her mark on a player, but as you can see there, she wins the ball. It's the follow-through that gets her, but that's what makes her such a fearsome player on the pitch, whether it be playing at centre-back as she is right now as this makeshift Bayern back line holds their own. In the midfield where her talents really are best served.
01:52:57 Competition for places is so fierce in that Bayern midfield. A little less fierce now that Zahra Zadrazil, who was one of the first names on the team, she just picked up that nasty knee injury, and we do wish her a speedy recovery. But it might actually, the silver lining of that situation, make life easier for Jose Barclay in managing the minutes of his star midfielders. Of course, you've got Stanway, you've got Zadrazil, you've got Caruso, you've got Obedov, you've got Alari, you've got Tanikawa, you've got Harder who drops in there every now and again as well.
01:53:26 Not to mention the likes of Linda Dahlmann, who sometimes pop up in midfield. Barbara Dunst will be making her way back from injury soon as well. One of the best midfield departments in world women's football.
01:53:50 Lea Schüller war zu kommen in dieser Spiel, aber mit einer Angelegenheit zu Finesse Gilles ist zu re-thinkt. Sie ist zu kommen für die Finale. Nur über fünf Minuten, auf wann sie in der Fray geht. Markus Högner, eine vorherige Coach von hers an Essen. Sie war ein Teil der SKA-Sessens-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein-Schein
01:54:29 Annika Endler, waiting for the overlapping run from Vogel. Kvinn scampers across to cover, takes out Vogel in the process, but a clean challenge.
01:54:43 Germany women's national team captain Julia Quinn and one of her international teammates Lea Schüller now coming on for the two-goal heroine tonight Penilla Harder not gonna have a chance at another Dave Bippo Kader Frauen hat-trick Lea Schüller who was the heroine in the final against Bremen last season scoring a hat-trick in the final she now comes on for the final just under five minutes
01:55:18 Stanawe the latest Bayern player to leave her mark on an opposing player in the form of Jasmin Jabez still arguably the woman who had Dortmund's best chance in this game early on in the second half broken behind from a tightest angle fired over and this is a chance for Reimann one good delivery
01:55:46 Could make a real impact here from the captain. Teasing it towards goal, and Nash & Weng was taking no chances. Plenty of movement, but the throw-in not forthcoming from Forgel.
01:56:16 Javes does well to turn, finds support back to Vogel. Corner or a goal kick? It is the latter.
01:56:31 Dortmund haben absolut nichts zu be ashamed of.
01:56:56 in this outing they've given a really good account of themselves they kept things respectable they've actually matched Bayern over the course of the second half in a way they didn't really in the first though maybe make the argument that Bayern with the games coming thick and fast have taken their foot off a pedal a touch but as Caroline Simon said before this game it's always nice to go back to the Oktoberfest on the back of a win and Bayern's women are due one more visit before the 190th Oktoberfest closes its door a special time
01:57:24 every year in Munich and the Bayern women's team have been enjoying their trips out in the traditional dandels worth pointing out that the men have made a few chips as well so it's not just the women enjoying the festivities
01:57:54 A bit of cramp for Zahra Ito in midfield and she might be one of the two coming off with two Dortmund players once again stripped off Noreen Günevig and Emilia Powell's the 16 year old set to come on
01:58:25 Well, Penila Harder will understandably take the Player of the Match award. But a word for Laura van Delaan. Because she was magnificent in the first half, especially in the second half. Truth be told, she's barely been called into action. And one of her busier nights at the office took a turn. I'm sure she probably didn't expect in the fact that it became a little easier in this second half.
01:59:05 452 minutes and counting without conceding a goal now
01:59:33 Next up for Bayern München, as Zahra Ito makes way, put in a real shift in midfield, didn't she, as she comes off for Günevig.
Ausblick und Zusammenfassung
01:59:49
01:59:49 Meanwhile, Jasmin Jäbes replaced by Emilia Powell. 16 years old, she made an appearance in that 3-1 win against Gladbach off the bench in the DFB Bokada Frauen qualifiers. Now a highlight moment in the young stages of her career against Bayern. Five minutes added on at the end of the 90, that seems very generous indeed given the lack of stoppages.
02:00:15 But the point I was going to make is for Bayern next up in the Frauenbundersliga. It is a rerun of the Day of People's Car final from last season on home soil against Werder Bremen at the Bayern Campus.
02:00:27 After that, their first Women's Champions League League Phase match against Barcelona. In Barcelona, no less. And that game comes right before the trip to Wolfsburg in what could be a season-defining match in the Frauenbundersliga. So the games don't get any easier.
02:00:47 für Bayern. Wenn Sie sich anschauen, die sie in der Champions League gewonnen haben, haben sie die Aspiration zu gehen, in die Kampagne zu gehen, als sie in der Kampagne waren, bei OL Lyones. Aber sie haben, letztendlich, statistisch, die Schmerzen mögliche Liga-Phase-Drauch, sechs Teams. Das ist eine Mörderes-Rolle, die sie gegen Barcelona gehen, Juventus, Arsenal, die Champions League-Titel-Holder haben.
02:01:12 Paris Saint-Germain, Atletico de Madrid, and then the team that really proved a thought in their side last season, Valerenga as well. Not easy in the inaugural league phase of the Women's Champions League for Bayern, but then if they want to go deep in that competition, if they want to win it at some stage in the near future, these are the types of teams they've got to sharpen their skills against.
02:01:43 Oh Damjanovic brought down a bit of a clumsy challenge there Forgot one of the few things that she's done wrong tonight Damjanovic gave her a little bit of an elbow for her troubles as well
02:02:02 Nein, sie ist nicht der erste und nicht der letzte zu sein, von der kombinative Spieler, Jovanna Damianowitsch. Sie hat eine eigene Koffee-Koffee-Koffee-Koffee in München. Incidentally. Ich bin ehrlich, ich habe noch nicht gehört. Ich habe eine Brühe. Vielleicht in der Zukunft.
02:02:32 The Nine Fine Roastery, in case you were wondering, is the name of that cafe for Jovanna Damjanovic. Free kick fist in and turned towards goal by the woman in question. Not the clean strike though, and as a result, off target goes the effort.
02:02:59 Very awkward height. Truth be told there to deal with that one for Damjanovic.
02:03:16 I just wonder whether there might be some Bayern fans out there that are a little critical of this second half performance in the fact that their side didn't really force the issue not that it needed to be the golfing class has been apparent tonight Dortmund the underdogs the Davids unable to find that lucky punch
02:03:35 put that one stone in their slingshot to take out the Goliaths from Munich who want one more goal they might get it Padilla beat us just wide corner and potentially the last real chance of the game here for Bayern to add a third and put a bit more gloss on a pretty comfortable and convincing victory
02:04:03 But again, I just wonder whether you look at the 90 minutes tonight and actually look at it and say, you know what? Bayern have won the match. They've put their ticket to the second round. But in many ways, you could argue that Dortmund are the bigger winners tonight. They've drawn the attention. They've got the recognition. They've given a good account of themselves. They are putting in a performance to suggest that they will be in the Frauenbundersieger sooner rather than later. And then when they get there, that they might not be that out of place.
02:04:34 Markus Ergner, I have to say, I think is the perfect head coach for this time and this part of the Dortmund project. But tonight, a reality check.
02:04:48 The double winners from last season Bayern München make a winning start to their title defense in the DFB Pokal der Frauen in front of a record-breaking crowd of over 15,000 at the Stadion Rote Erde Der Klassiker comes to the women's game for the first ever time but Pernille Harder's brace enough to book Bayern a ticket to the second round at Borussia Dortmund's expense
02:05:15 Die DFB-Boppelkader Frauen debutantes, 4-4 gegen die Doppel-Winners, aber ein Magnificent-Night in Dortmund, ein Spezial-Night für ein Spezial-Game. Final score Dortmund 0, Bayern 2.
02:05:30 Well, as expected on paper, eventually Bayern had to dig deep in the first half as they created a flurry of goal-scoring chances. And Laura van der Lahn, that woman on your screen, the Dortmund goalkeeper, certainly the player of the match for the home side. Without her it would have ended 4-5, maybe 6-0. She had a pretty quiet second half though when Bayern took their foot off the pedal. Dortmund came on strong but couldn't get a goal.
02:05:58 Dortmund 0, Bayern 2.
