Bavaria Women back at the top: dramatic victory against Leverkusen!

The footballers of FC Bayern Munich have impressively fought their way back to the top of the Bundesliga. This happened just a week after the end of their impressive successes when they defeated Borussia Bayer Leverkusen 3-2 on Sunday. The decisive goal was made by Alara Sehitler in the 90th minute, who made the game for Bayern after two gaps.

The game initially started unfavorable for the Munich women. Leverkusens Cornelia Kramer put her team in the lead in the 20th minute, followed by another goal by Julia Mickenhagen in the 51st minute. Despite the adverse conditions, Bayern showed impressive morals. Sarah Zadrazil equalized for a minute to Mickenhagen's goal, and Georgia Stanway converted a penalty in the 66th minute, making Bavaria back into the game. In the decisive phase of the game, Leverkusen played outnumbered after Mickenhagen was put off the pitch in the 73rd minute with yellow-red. This was the first defeat of the season for Leverkusen.

Ranking in the table

Through this victory, Bavaria is now at the top of the table with 18 points, two points ahead of Eintracht Frankfurt. The Frankfurt women had to accept a 0-1 defeat against Werder Bremen on Saturday, which could further strengthen the position of Bayern. VfL Wolfsburg also remains a serious competitor. The Wolfsburg women, who are tied with Frankfurt, celebrated a 2-0 win at SGS Essen, despite the lack of superstar Alexandra Popp in the starting eleven. Popp, which still has to fight with the consequences of an ankle injury, only came into play in the final phase.

The rivalry remains exciting, especially if you consider that Wolfsburg has just finished Bavaria's impressive series in the Bundesliga, which included 44 competitive games without defeat. These developments could significantly influence the dynamics in the title race.
