Bayern Munich just dropped a five-star performance on RB Leipzig, taking them down 5,1 on the road in the Frauen-Bundesliga. This wasn’t just another three points, though. This victory pushes the defending champions’ unbelievable unbeaten league run to 50 matches. Think about that for a second: *fifty games* without a loss. That’s absurd dominance.
Leipzig Had No Answers From The Jump
From the very first whistle, Bayern made it clear they meant business. Momoko Tanikawa sliced through Leipzig’s defense to open the scoring inside eight minutes. Six minutes later, it got even worse for the home side when Zenia Mertens accidentally put the ball into her own net, doubling Bayern’s advantage. Can you even imagine being two goals down barely 15 minutes into a match against a team that hasn’t lost in nearly two years? Leipzig was chasing the game almost from the beginning, and frankly, they never really caught up. Bayern ended the match with a whopping 67 percent of the ball, racking up 16 shots with nine of them on target. Leipzig, meanwhile, managed 13 attempts but only four on target. Those numbers tell the story: Bayern was in complete control, always threatening, while Leipzig struggled to build any real sustained pressure.
Bühl’s Brace, Red Card Drama, and a Defender in Goal
Leipzig desperately needed a spark after the break, but instead, they just fell further behind. Klara Bühl, who was absolutely everywhere, made it 3,0 in the 55th minute. She wasn’t done, hitting the net again in the 73rd minute to complete her brace and push her season tally to six league goals. Her performance was a masterclass in attacking depth. Leipzig did manage a brief moment of relief when Marleen Schimmer grabbed a goal in the 78th minute. But it was too little, too late, and Edna Imade, who came on late in the 72nd minute, restored Bayern’s four-goal cushion in the 85th, sealing the 5,1 win.
Now, here’s where it got wild. In the 75th minute, Bayern’s goalkeeper Ena Mahmutovic got a straight red card for denying an obvious goal-scoring opportunity. With all five substitutions already used, Bayern was in a bind. Defender Vanessa Gilles had to step into goal! Talk about an unexpected turn. It was a bizarre twist in an otherwise comfortable evening, but even with a player out of position in net, Bayern still held strong.
José Barcala’s side just keeps rolling, showing off their quality and depth with every match. Fifty games unbeaten is a ridiculous streak, and right now, it feels like nothing can stop them. They just proved they can adapt on the fly, even with a defender between the posts. This team is a machine, and the rest of the league has to be wondering if anyone can ever slow them down.
