To say VfL Wolfsburg Women are difficult to beat would be an understatement. In front of 14,027 spectators at the Volkswagen Arena, the FLYERALARM Women’s Bundesliga leaders cruised to a 5-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, who had occupied second place in the table going into Saturday. Bayern Munich have leapfrogged Eintracht into second but still remain five points behind the Green-and-Whites.
Jill Roord scored a hat-trick in the comfortable win, with birthday girl Ewa Pajor also getting on the scoresheet and Sara Doorsoun putting through her own net.

1-0 Roord (5’): VfL take the lead with a magnificent strike. Lena Lattwein picks out the unmarked Roord, who wastes no time in pulling the trigger and sends the ball into the top left corner.
2-0 Roord (42’): Roord scores again! The visitors fail to properly clear their lines inside the penalty area, allowing the 25-year-old to find the net from an acute angle. Goalkeeper Stina Johannes, who let the ball slip through her grasp, will be disappointed not to have done better.
3-0 Pajor (44’): Two goals in three minutes for the She-Wolves. Pajor is left unmarked at a corner and heads home from a central position. The ball takes a wicked deflection off Verena Hanshaw on its way in.
4-0 Roord (50’): Popp sends in a perfect cross for Roord, who escapes her marker and heads back across Johannes to complete her first hat-trick for the Green-and-Whites.
5-0 Doorsoun (OG, 86’): Jule Brand sets off down the right, spots Roord in a good position and sends a cross into the area. Doorsoun beats Roord to the ball but only manages to steer
