"After success in the Supercup, José Barcala's side kicked off their title defence last weekend with a 2-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen. This time, they would get a chance to play in the Red Bull Arena in front of over 10,000 fans. A little drop off from the spectacular attendance at the Allianz Arena last time out, but nonetheless impressive."
"Bayern began the game in typical dominant fashion, controlling the vast majority of possession and limiting Leipzig to half-chances at best. The first Bayern chance came in the 6th minute, after a long ball from Simon landed on Harder's boot, but she was unable to keep the shot down and it flew over the bar. Harder was involved again soon after in the 9th minute, where a beautifully weighted ball from Tanikawa was played in behind the defence."
Bayern Munich Women followed Supercup success by opening this campaign with a 2-0 win away at RB Leipzig before 10,287 fans at the Red Bull Arena. José Barcala made four changes to the starting XI, bringing in Ballisager, Oberdorf, Bühl and Harder. Bayern controlled possession and created early chances, with Harder involved in multiple openings. From a Bühl corner, Oberdorf rose highest to head past Herzog and give Bayern the lead. Bayern remained without Dunst, Gwinn and Glódis Perla Viggósdóttir due to knee and cruciate ligament injuries. Leipzig finished eighth last season and aim to improve.
