"Three points to start 2026! FC Bayern Women celebrated a convincing 3-0 win against RB Leipzig on Sunday evening, extending their impressive winning run in the Bundesliga to 11 games and their unbeaten streak in all competitions to 16. In front of a home crowd at the FC Bayern Campus, Momoko Tanikawa (6') gave the defending double winners an early lead through a penalty, before an own goal by Leipzig's Kyra Spitzner (67') as well as strike from substitute Jovana Damnjanović (69') sealed a 3-0 victory."
"We were able to impose our game for 15 to 20 minutes at the start, but then the pitch became so slow that it was almost impossible to play precise football. When you can't produce your own game as normal, you have to adapt, defend resolutely and stay in the game. At the end we then had the opportunity to calm it down again and regain control."
"Before kick-off, Franziska Kett received special recognition. The 21-year-old full-back has been given the award as Munich's Elite Student of the Year 2025 by the German Olympic Sports Confederation and the German Savings Banks Association. She was selected out of several young female and male athletes in a vote with representatives of the schools and the Olympic centre."
