The She-Wolves suffered a setback on Matchday 12 of the Google Pixel Women’s Bundesliga after being held to a 1-1 draw away to Bayer 04 Leverkusen. VfL were dominant from the outset at the Ulrich-Haberland-Stadion, and although they took the lead through Alexandra Popp (37’), they were unable to make the most of a number of other clear-cut chances in the first half.
The Green-and-Whites were made to pay after the break when Marina Hegering was sent off for a second bookable offence in the 72nd minute. From the resulting free-kick, Emilie Bragstad equalised for Leverkusen, leaving the She-Wolves to digest a disappointing 1-1 draw.
After back-to-back away games, VfL Women have a big home match to look forward to when they host Eintracht Frankfurt at the Volkswagen Arena on Sunday 11 February (kick-off 14:00 CET). The vociferous home support will be needed to cheer on their team as they seek three points in the title race.
