Alara Strikes Late Again: Bayern Wins Thriller!
15 Sep
Summary
- Alara scored a late winner, her tenth goal, securing a 3-2 victory.
- Giulia Gwinn provided two assists in her 150th competitive appearance.
- Bayern came from behind twice to secure their fourth win in four games.
FCB Women triumphed over Leverkusen with a dramatic 3-2 victory, extending their unbeaten Bundesliga streak to 46 matches and securing 12 points from four games. The match saw Alara score her tenth career goal against Leverkusen in a late 88th-minute winner, mirroring a similar late goal from two years prior at the same venue.
Despite dominating possession with 76 percent, FCB Women struggled to convert their control into clear-cut chances. Leverkusen, however, capitalized on their opportunities. Paulina Tomasiak scored twice for the hosts, including a deflected free-kick and a goal from a Bayern defensive error, putting Leverkusen ahead twice.
Giulia Gwinn was instrumental in Bayern's comeback during her 150th competitive appearance, providing two crucial assists. Her crosses led to goals from Vanessa Gilles and Edna Imade, with Gilles scoring for the third consecutive game and Imade equalizing just two minutes after coming off the bench. The team's depth was highlighted by the impact of substitutes like Imade and Alara.
The win demonstrated Bayern's resilience and fighting spirit, as they trailed twice but found ways to equalize and eventually secure the victory. This hard-fought win, rather than a smooth performance, underscored the team's mentality and quality, particularly from the bench.
