Heiseler double leads dominant display
Union Berlin delivered their biggest win of the season with a commanding 5–0 victory over RB Leipzig, climbing to seventh in the Frauen-Bundesliga. Lisa Heiseler opened the scoring in the 13th minute, tapping in Eileen Campbell’s cross, and doubled her tally with a low finish just before half-time following a corner routine. Campbell then curled in a superb third to cap a relentless first-half press, before Sophie Weidauer added a fourth with a 68th-minute header. Substitute Ida Heikkinen completed the rout in stoppage time, pouncing on a loose ball to make it five. Despite the score line, Elvira Herzog impressed in goal for Leipzig with six saves. The defeat leaves the visitors 11th and searching for answers.
Ruthless second-half surge restores Frauen-Bundesliga lead
Bayern Munich produced a blistering second-half display to overturn an early deficit and reclaim top spot in the Frauen-Bundesliga with a 5–1 win over Köln. Sandra Jessen stunned the hosts with a fifth-minute header from Anna Gerhardt’s corner, but Bayern responded with ruthless efficiency after the break. Momoko Tanikawa levelled in the 52nd minute, converting Stine Ballisager’s pass, before Magdalena Eriksson nodded in Klara Bühl’s cross just 60 seconds later to turn the game on its head. Georgia Stanway added a third from Lea Schüller’s cutback, Ballisager powered in a header from a 71st-minute corner, and Pernille Harder capped the scoring from the penalty spot after Marina Hegering’s foul. Irina Fuchs made four saves for Köln but was left exposed as Bayern racked up 16 shots. The defeat drops Köln to 10th in the table.
Popp double powers visitors into second
Wolfsburg surged into second place in the Frauen-Bundesliga with a commanding 5–1 win over Bayer Leverkusen, capitalising on early drama and clinical finishing. Charlotte Voll was sent off inside the opening minute for a foul on Lineth Beerensteyn, and Wolfsburg made the advantage count as Alexandra Popp flicked home the opener in the 23rd minute before doubling the lead 20 minutes later. Claudia Wenger gave Leverkusen hope with a header just after the restart, but Beerensteyn restored the two-goal cushion within two minutes, converting Kessya Bussy’s assist. Wenger then turned into her own net in the 72nd minute, and Guro Bergsvand completed the rout with a late header from Judit Pujols’s corner. The result leaves Wolfsburg just behind Bayern Munich, while Leverkusen remain mid-table.
