• Klara Bühl makes 200^th appearance for FCB
• Tenth victory in tenth league match
• FCB extend lead

FC Bayern Women laid down a marker to continue their impressive start to the season: José Barcala’s team downed VfL Wolfsburg 4-1 in Saturday’s top clash to win their tenth Google Pixel Women’s Bundesliga match in a row. Bernadette Amani’s header put Munich in front in the 36^th minute. Linda Dallmann doubled the lead on the stroke of half-time (45’+2). Janina Minge put through her own goal in the 57^th minute before another Amani header made it four (82’), with Flöe Nielsen scoring a consolation goal for Wolfsburg in added time. Munich extended their lead at the top of the table and are now six points clear of Wolfsburg.

Ahead at half-time

FCB were in control from the off and created the first chance of the top clash when Dallmann found Giulia Gwinn in the box, but the latter aimed too high under pressure from Sarai Linder (11’). The Wolves were more compact now and closed down space near their own box. A Momoko Tanikawa pass was blocked after 16 minutes. Jovana Damnjanović picked up a bad pass in the box six minutes later and set up Pernille Harder, who fired just over (23’).

Harder had the next gilt-edged chance when she saw an effort blocked after 33 minutes, with Gwinn seeing her rebound saved, but Munich’s pressure was rewarded two minutes later (36’). In her 200^th appearance for FC Bayern, Klara Bühl’s pinpoint corner found Amani, who powered a header into the top right corner of the net. Bühl soon launched a counter from her own half and set up Damnjanović, who found Dallmann in the box, the Germany international firing into the bottom low corner (45’+2).

Amani bags brace

Wolfsburg almost pulled one back just 20 seconds into the second half, but Prasnikar’s effort went wide. Bühl soon set up Dallmann, who didn’t connect properly and fired over (48’). Bühl’s next cross lead to the third, with Janina Minge’s failed clearance ending up in her own goal (57’).

The visitors shifted down a gear now and let the ball do the work. There was no way through Wolfsburg’s defence for some time. Sophie Proost saw a shot saved in the 80^th minute, but Bühl’s following corner invited the unmarked Amani to head home and round off her brace (81’). VfL scored a consolation goal in added time when Cecilie Flöe Nielsen beat Mahmutovic from close range (90’+2).
