Dominance underlined! Bayern Munich women thrash Wolfsburg and extend remarkable run
Not even their biggest rivals can halt Bayern Munich's women's extraordinary winning run. Bayern beat VfL Wolfsburg 4-1 (2-0) in their Bundesliga top-of-the-table clash to claim a tenth victory in ten league matches this season.
Unbeaten in 52 league matches across two seasons, José Barcala's side are six points clear of their closest challengers and remain the dominant force in German women's football.
In front of 9015 fans in Wolfsburg, the double winners left no doubt about their superiority. Bernadette Amani scored twice (36th/81st), with Linda Dallmann (45+2) and a Janina Minge own goal (56th) helping the visitors to a seventh consecutive win over the Lower Saxony side. Bayern's most recent Bundesliga defeat came in Wolfsburg in October 2024. Since then, the serial champions have known only wins and draws. Cecilie Floe (90+2) scored a consolation goal for the home side.
Tactical discipline and inaccuracy made for a slow start. Giulia Gwinn had the only chance, shooting wide after a fine pass from Dallmann left her clear in front of VfL goalkeeper Stina Johannes (11th). The usually assured Munich side made uncharacteristic mistakes in their build-up play, prompting Barcala to gesticulate wildly on the touchline.
Barcala's frustration did not last long. After Pernille Harder and Gwinn passed up good chances (36th), Bayern took the lead from a set piece: Klara Bühl, making her 200th competitive appearance for Bayern, delivered a corner that an unmarked Amani headed in for 1-0.

That breakthrough gave Barcala's side the freedom to take control. They added another before half-time as Bühl dribbled past two Wolfsburg players and found Jovana Damnjanovic, who had made a supporting run. The 31-year-old squared to Dallmann, whose deflected low shot beat Johannes.
Wolfsburg pushed harder for chances after the restart, but only Lara Prasnikar's attempt (46th) came close to pulling a goal back. Bayern continued to pin VfL back and effectively settled the contest when Minge's attempted clearance from Bühl's cross flew into her own net. Amani added her second headed goal in the closing stages.
