Goals
- 1-0 Hegering (24’): VfL take the lead via a set piece as Huth curls a corner from the left high into the penalty area. Hegering is completely unmarked and chests the ball over the line.
- 2-0 Brand (40’): Oberdorf chips an eye-catching pass into Popp’s path. She takes it in her stride and lays the ball square inside the box for the unmarked Brand to slot home.
- 3-0 Jonsdottir (56’): Brand runs clear following Popp’s pass and lays the ball off for Jonsdottir, who gets the better of Leipzig’s Jenny Hipp and makes it 3-0.
- 4-0 Brand (89’): Brand gets her second goal following an impressive move. She dummies a nice pass from Wedemeyer, leaving it for Riola Xhemaili, who threads the ball through to Brand to finish into the bottom corner.
