FCB Women etched their names into the history books, extending their incredible unbeaten streak to **45 league matches without defeat** after a dominant 4-1 victory over SC Freiburg on Sunday afternoon. This third win in three games not only keeps coach José Barcala’s squad perfect early in the season, it officially sets a new Bundesliga record. Yeah, you read that right: *forty-five games* without a loss in the league. That’s wild, man.
Tanikawa’s Absolute Banger and First Half Dominance
The Bayern women wasted no time showing why they are setting records. Playing in glorious summer weather at the FC Bayern Campus stadium, Momoko Tanikawa absolutely opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a goal that you had to see to believe. The Japan international spotted Freiburg goalkeeper Anna Reimann off her line and, from *behind the halfway line*, launched a stunning, long-range lob right over her head to make it 1-0. Seriously, a world-class strike to kick off a record-breaking day! The Munich side kept the pressure on, dominating play. After Bernadette Amani narrowly missed an earlier chance, and Ena Mahmutovic had to tip a cross over the bar to prevent an equalizer, Vanessa Gilles doubled the lead in the 43rd minute. She turned in Klara Bühl’s free-kick from a central position, sending Bayern into halftime up 2-0 and looking unstoppable.
An Intense Second Half, Epic Comeback, and a Resilient Return
Freiburg tried to claw their way back in, and Luca Birkholz pulled one back in the 64th minute after a swift counter-attack to make it 2-1. For a moment, it felt like things could get dicey, but this Bayern team refused to be rattled. Klara Bühl, who had been denied earlier in a one-on-one with Reimann, stepped up big in the 73rd minute. After an insane sprint across the entire pitch, she rounded the keeper and slotted the ball home, restoring the two-goal cushion at 3-1. Then, to cap it off, Tanikawa wrapped up her brace and the 4-1 victory in the 90th+1 minute, scoring after another counter-attack. But the good news didn’t stop there. Sarah Zadrazil made her much-anticipated comeback in the closing stages of the match, an incredible 348 days after tearing her ACL,and against the very same SC Freiburg team she injured it against, too. Talk about a full-circle moment!
This team isn’t just winning, they are making history and showing incredible resilience. Next up, they travel for an away game against Bayer 04 Leverkusen on Monday, September 14. Kick-off is at 18:00 CEST. Then, five days later, on Saturday, September 19, they are back home to host 1. FC Köln at the FC Bayern Campus stadium at 14:00 CEST.
