Referee Dingert stated that he observed player Díaz go down during a sprint into the penalty area without any contact from the Leverkusen goalkeeper, which he considered an unsportsmanlike dive. While he only noticed the subsequent contact with the foot after reviewing the video footage following the match, even taking this into account, player Díaz had sought and made contact beforehand, so his decision was not entirely wrong.

First goal, brilliantly played! When you score a goal, it naturally stands out even more. The way he celebrated - that was pure joy, coming from deep within - and the reward for many, many years of hard work. Everyone shared in his happiness, and he'll sleep well.

Pernille Harder put the defending double winners in front with a quickfire double, and Linda Dallmann made it 3-0 shortly before half-time at the Franz-Kremer-Stadion. With their 16th consecutive win in the league, the holders have at least briefly increased their cushion at the top of the standings to an impressive 17 points.
