Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, can look forward to a strong position in the table. With 19 points after nine games, they are in third place, six points behind league leaders FC Bayern. These numbers underline the team's consistency this season. Claudia Wenger and Valentina Mädl also played for Leverkusen.

Barbara Dunst's comeback

Another important moment in the league was the comeback of Barbara Dunst, who played in a competitive game against 1. FC Nürnberg after almost a year out due to injury. On Tuesday, Bayern led Munich to an impressive 6-0 win. Dunst tore a cruciate ligament on December 3, 2022 in the ÖFB uniform and played this game as her debut in the Bayern uniform after her summer transfer from Eintracht Frankfurt. Coach Jose Barcala praised Dunst's hard work during her rehabilitation period and was happy about her return to the team.

Dunst expressed her gratitude for the support she received during her time with injury. Both players, Hillebrand and Dunst, show exemplary how important resilience and fighting spirit are in women's football.
