BVB women celebrate: dream DFB-Pokal debut with blockbuster draw | OneFootball

Great joy among the BVB women: For the first time, they have reached the main round of the DFB Cup. There, they face a real blockbuster draw with FC Bayern.

Borussia Dortmund’s women’s team has made history: For the first time since its founding five years ago, the Black and Yellows are in the main round of the DFB Cup – and can look forward to a real highlight right away.

In the playoff match on Tuesday evening, the regional league team defeated second division side Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-1 (1-0) at the Stadion Rote Erde. Ronja Leubner put BVB ahead shortly before halftime (40’), before Annika Enderle (69’) and Dana Marquardt (87’) added to the lead in the second half. Gladbach managed only a consolation goal through Maresa Arici in the meantime. Shortly before the break, Marquardt also missed a penalty after a foul.

With this victory, the Dortmund women secured their ticket to the first main round – and drew the toughest, but also most attractive, opponent possible: defending champions and German champions FC Bayern Munich will come to Dortmund between September 27 and 29. It will be the first official competitive match between the two clubs in women’s football.

DFB Cup Draw Brings Mega Clash: BVB Women vs. Bayern

The path to the playoffs was paved for BVB by their victory in the Westphalia Cup against Schalke 04. Since their founding in 2020, the Dortmund women have enjoyed a rapid rise: from starting in the district league all the way to the Regionalliga West, which the team was promoted to this summer. The new coach Markus Högner, previously with SGS Essen, is in charge of a significantly strengthened squad that is aiming for promotion to the Bundesliga in the medium term.

However, before the cup clash against Bayern, the league routine begins for the BVB women next Sunday. To kick off the Regionalliga West, they will host Bayer Leverkusen’s U20 team at the Stadion Rote Erde (3 p.m.).

BVB Women: Van der Laan – Steenwijk (94’ Böger), Reimann, Wöhrn, Vogel – Ito (60’ Günnewig), Leubner, Schumacher (77’ Pauls) – Jabbes (77’ Willeke), Marquardt, Enderle (94’ Scholle)

Goals: 1-0 Leubner (40’), 2-0 Enderle (69’), 2-1 Arici (76’), 3-1 Marquardt (87’)
