Bavaria’s footballers remain on the wave of success in the Champions League. In the end they won safely in Turin, but had serious problems at times.
The women of FC Bayern Munich also won their second game in the Champions League. After the opening 5-2 win against FC Arsenal, the Munich team also defeated Juventus Turin – 2-0.
The goals at the Stadio Vittorio Pozzo were scored by Linda Dallmann (17th minute) and Pernille Harder (73rd). In the meantime, however, the Bavarians had to tremble quite a bit. Juve’s Lisa Boattin hit the post in the 33rd minute.
In the end, coach Alexander Straus’ players managed to win relatively safely over time. After two games, FC Bayern is in first place in preliminary group C with six points. Juventus follows behind with three points. The still pointless teams Valerenga Oslo and Arsenal will meet later in the evening.
Final whistle! The game is over. FC Bayern wins 2-0 in Turin – and showed two faces. The Bavarians were clearly in control of the first and last 25 minutes of the game, but at times the Turin team came into their own and sniffed the equalizer more than once. The bottom line is that FC Bayern are the deserved winners.
84. Minute: Now FCB has the game under control. There is very little left offensively from Juve.
73rd minute: 2-0 for FC Bayern, goalscorer: Harder
There is the second goal for the Munich team! After a corner, striker Harder gets the ball in the penalty area, takes a shot, but the shot is blocked. But she sticks with it, gets possession of the ball again and shoots in humorlessly from about eight meters.
71. Minute: Lohmann drives the ball forward and takes a shot from 20 meters – but Juve keeper Peyraud-Magnin quickly raises her fists and directs the shot over the crossbar.
68. Minute: The game flattens out a bit. It hasn’t been dangerous in front of the goals lately, but Bayern now have a lot more control of the game again.
59. Minute: … to safely thresh into the net. But at the very last second, Stanway spies the ball off her foot. A brilliant defensive move.
59. Minute: Stanway shows once again what makes her so valuable for Bayern: After a cross from the right side flies past friend and foe through the Munich penalty area for what feels like half an eternity, Bonansea runs in from the background and prepares to take the ball. ..
53. Minute: The Bavarians weren’t really convincing in the second half either. Juve are still much closer to equalizing than FCB are to the second goal.
47. Minute: … but the ball bounces just past the right post. A huge opportunity for Juventus.
47. Minute: Bayern started the second half with a blatant defensive error. Hansen and Viggosdottir believe that Vangsgaard, who starts in the middle, is offside, but the Danes move back a little, confusing the central defenders a little – and finish in the best position. Vangsgaard aims very precisely,…
Restart: It goes on. The second half is underway.
Half-time break: The Bavarians go into the locker room with a lucky 1-0 lead. After they got off to a furious start and had the first half of the first half clearly under control, the balance of power shifted. With a shot off the post and a controversial penalty situation, an equalizer from Turin would have been well deserved.
43. Minute: Now FCB is managing to calm the game down a bit and sort out their own game.
