"The defending champions were coming into the game brimming with confidence, having failed to win only one domestic game this season so far. However, Bayern was hit with a slew of injuries, with the likes of Klara Bühl, Alara, Katharina Naschenweng, and more sidelined. Momoko Tanikawa was also absent due to her participation in the Asian Cup."
"The absences did little to stop the Bavarians, though, as they took an early lead after only six minutes. Edna Imade took advantage of some poor goalkeeping and headed home from close range. Nevertheless, it was Bayern who looked more comfortable throughout, and on 66 minutes, they extended their advantage through Franziska Kett."
"Quite remarkably, the current top two and bottom two teams of the Bundesliga make up the final four. Bayern have faced Essen once this season, winning 4-1. They also happen to face them next Friday in the return leg of the Bundesliga."
Bayern Munich's women's team secured a 3-0 victory over Hamburger SV in the DFB-Pokal quarterfinals, advancing to the semifinals as defending champions. Despite significant injuries to key players including Klara Bühl, Alara, Katharina Naschenweng, and Momoko Tanikawa's absence for the Asian Cup, Bayern dominated the match. Edna Imade opened scoring after six minutes, Franziska Kett extended the lead in the 66th minute, and Linda Dallmann's corner assist led to Natalia Padilla-Bidas's goal in the 88th minute. Bayern will face SGS Essen in the semifinals, with their first and final home game of the tournament. The final four comprises the top two and bottom two Bundesliga teams.
