Bayern too strong: HSV women knocked out of the DFB-Pokal | OneFootball

The HSV women’s football team missed out on reaching the semifinals of the DFB-Pokal for women once again. On Wednesday evening, the newly promoted Bundesliga side lost 0-3 to the favored FC Bayern at the Volksparkstadion.

Against the double winners from Munich, HSV held their own for phases of the match, but in the end, the defending champions proved to be a size too big.

The visitors got off to a perfect start: as early as the sixth minute, Edna Imade put Bayern in the lead. After a cross from DFB captain Giulia Gwinn, HSV defender Annaleen Böhler got a slight touch on the ball with her head, which prevented goalkeeper Lea Paulick from controlling it. Imade then only had to head the ball into the empty net.

After that, the Munich team continued to control the game, although they did not create a multitude of clear chances. A header from Pernille Harder (40’) remained the best opportunity before the break. HSV, however, was rarely dangerous in attack. A shot from Maria Mikolajova (38’) remained the only noteworthy action for a long time.

HSV women fight bravely

After the break, Bayern remained dominant. In the 66th minute, the preliminary decision was made: after an impressive attack, Arianna Caruso cleverly let the ball go through to Franziska Kett, who rounded Paulick and slotted in to make it 2-0. HSV continued to resist defeat, but real goal threats remained the exception. Shortly before the end, Natalia Padilla-Bidas sealed the 3-0 final score after an assist from Linda Dallmann (88’).
