"Bayern got off to a good start in the pouring rain at the Stadion Rote Erde and had their first big chance within seconds, but Dortmund goalkeeper Laura van der Laan denied Harder one-on-one and then saved a header from Arianna Caruso not long after. The Munich Frauen continued to dictate play but had to wait until the 27th minute to strike."
"Things were calmer after the restart, with notable chances at a premium. Dortmund's best opportunity came from Jasmin Jabbes on the hour mark, but Ena Mahmutovic was there to push the shot over as Bayern wrapped up victory and their place in the next round. The games continue to come thick and fast for the domestic double holders. They next host Werder Bremen in the Google Pixel Bundesliga on Saturday (2pm CEST)."
FC Bayern Women defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the DFB Cup first round, with Pernille Harder scoring both first-half goals in front of 15,755 spectators including vice-president Walter Mennekes.

Natalia Padilla-Bidas debuted and hit the post before halftime. The second half featured fewer chances, with Jasmin Jabbes' effort saved by Ena Mahmutovic. Bayern now face Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, then travel to Barcelona for the UEFA Women's Champions League opener.
