The FC Bayern Munich footballers have achieved their first victory in this year’s group stage of the Champions League.
The German champions and Bundesliga table leaders prevailed 1-0 (1-0) at Paris St. Germain after an effective and concentrated performance. Sweden’s Magdalena Erikson scored the goal of the day in the 21st minute for Munich.
Coach Alexander Straus’ team showed a strong reaction to the 2-2 draw at home against AS Roma a week ago. The next opponent on the way to the targeted quarter-finals is Ajax Amsterdam on December 14th. The Bayern women have never won the premier class title.
The Munich team used a free kick from Klara Bühl, which captain Glodis Viggosdottir headed across, to take the lead through Eriksson. Shortly afterwards, Lea Schüller missed the great chance to make it 2-0. Paris, led by long-injured striker Marie-Antoinette Katoto, otherwise kept the game even in the first half.
After the break, Bayern goalkeeper Maria Luisa Grohs barely saved a shot from the fast Tabitha Chawinga with a foot save. Otherwise, the semi-finalists from 2021 and 2022 – as before in the 0-2 defeat in Amsterdam – showed themselves to be too little threat to score with some promising attacks.
