RB Leipzig's women's soccer players win confidently at Werder Bremen

The RB Leipzig women's soccer team celebrated their first win of the second half of the Bundesliga season. Coach Stephan Jonas' team won 4:1 (1:0) at Werder Bremen on matchday 14. With the help of goals from Vanessa Fudalla (7, 63), Emilia Asgeirsdottir (56) and Marleen Schimmer (90+2), the Saxons climbed from eighth to fifth in the closely bunched midfield.

On the training pitch at the Weser Stadium, Giovanna Hoffmann had the lead on her feet in the fifth minute, but put the ball over the goal from inside the penalty area without any pressure. Less than two minutes later, Fudalla was more successful and tucked the ball into the top right-hand corner.

Fudalla makes the difference

Leipzig kept up the pressure after that, once again demonstrating their strength through quick transition play and dominating the game. While Werder failed to create any clear-cut chances, RB also failed to score another goal in the first half.

Sophie Weidauer took advantage of this to level the scores in the 47th minute before Leipzig added another. Asgeirsdottir netted after an assist from the strong Fudalla. When Werder captain Lina Hausicke saw red for an emergency brake in the 59th minute, the match was all but decided. Fudalla increased the lead to 3:1 before Schimmer added the final goal.
