Bayern Munich Frauen win the Supercup!

"The reigning German champions and Pokal winners faced league runners-up Wolfsburg in Karlsruhe for the first official match of the season. Despite a patchy preseason that resulted in a win, a draw, and a defeat, Bayern took control of the game from the start and were rewarded for their efforts throughout the 90+ minutes. Center back Magdalena Eriksson opened the scoring with a left-footed thunderbolt from just outside the penalty area in the 18th minute."

"Jovana Damnjanović then doubled the score seven minutes later with a strong run and an even stronger finish from a tight angle, also with her left foot. Bayern thus went into halftime with a two goal cushion. Wolfsburg dragged themselves back into the game in the 57th minute after a defensive mix-up in the Bayern box following a corner. However, Bayern restored their double advantage fifteen minutes later when Sarah Zadrazil stopped a counterattack attempt and looped the ball into the box,"

"Things got even better for Bayern when Wolfsburg conceded a penalty and got a red card five minutes later. European Champion Georgia Stanway calmly converted the spot kick to make it 4-1 for the champions. Wolfsburg did pull a goal back through a penalty of their own, but it did little to change the result, and Bayern were content to just control the ball within themselves until the final whistle blew, sealing yet another title for the Bavarians."
