Striker Lea Schüller was the star of the show, netting an impressive hat trick to lead Bayern to victory. Carolin Simon also contributed to the scoresheet, helping Bayern establish a comfortable 2-0 lead by the half-hour mark. However, Werder Bremen showed resilience, with Rieke Dieckmann pulling one back against the flow of play before halftime. Larissa Mühlhaus added another for Bremen with a well-taken free kick in stoppage time, but Bayern's early dominance ultimately secured the win.
This German Cup victory marks a significant milestone for Bayern Munich's women's team, as it is their first triumph in the competition since 2012. The win also brings an end to the remarkable decade-long reign of Wolfsburg in the German Cup. The Wolfsburg squad, backed by Volkswagen, had won the previous ten consecutive titles, including a 2-0 victory over Bayern in last year's final.
The success of Bayern Munich's women's team could be a harbinger of further glory for the club, as their men's team has the opportunity to wrap up the Bundesliga title on Saturday with a win in their match against Leipzig.
