Commentary:

"Bayern still pushing forward, dominating possession... Oh! It's Bühl again down the wing—she's leading the counter and Hoffenheim just can't keep up. She switches it to the opposite wing."

Now on the left, Schüller cut inside, driving through the center while Damnjanović ran off her shoulder. Instead of feeding the striker, she went for goal herself.

"A shot from Schüller!"

The crowd erupted as the ball skidded toward the far corner... then clanged off the post and out for a goal kick.

"Ah! So close! Just missed by inches. Bayern are relentless here. Hoffenheim can't seem to find an answer no matter what Bayern throw at them."

Coach Straus pulled his assistant aside and murmured something. A moment later, the assistant headed toward the bench.

"Louw, Lohmann. Start warming up."

The second Lana heard her name, she jumped to her feet. Surprisingly, she wasn't as nervous as she'd expected. She jogged to the sideline, started stretching and loosening up.

Three minutes later, she was told to suit up. She grabbed her shirt, put it on, and stood by the fourth official next to Lohmann, waiting to be called in.

"Bayern preparing two substitutions: Sydney Lohmann and Solana Louw. It's Louw's debut tonight—just 16 years old. She's been training with the first team for some time now, and clearly, she's earned Straus' trust. She becomes one of Bayern's youngest senior players, joining the likes of Klara Bühl, who made her debut as a teenager too."

Bayern Substitutions – Minute 73:

Off: Pernille Harder (#10) On: Sydney Lohmann (#17)

Off: Magdalena Eriksson (#5) On: Solana Louw (#16)

(Back at Che's house)

Che sat on the couch beside his mom, eyes glued to the screen.

"Ma! Look, she's actually playing!"

"I'm coming, wait for me!"

(Back to the match)

Lana jogged into position, head clear, scanning the field. Calm. Focused. The game didn't slow down—Bayern still had full control, pressing high and moving the ball around Hoffenheim's half.

"Bayern pressing for more—likely chasing that goal difference cushion. Still attacking, still hungry."

Lana got on the ball, passed cleanly to Stanway, and another attack built instantly. Bayern tore through the midfield with crisp, quick combinations.

"Same story from Bayern—they're just slicing through Hoffenheim now. Ball recycled back… and here's Louw again. She's looked solid so far."

Lana paused, looked up, and sent a smart, clean pass to Stanway on the half-turn. Stanway took off down the middle, and laid it out wide to Bühl.

Bühl collected on the wing, cut inside and slipped a short pass to Lohmann.

"Now Lohmann—nice touch—what a clever little ball back to Bühl! She's through..."

Bühl had passed earlier to Eriksson, then darted in behind, and Eriksson answered with a perfect chipped ball over the backline. Bühl let it bounce once, then smashed it low past the keeper.

"GOOOOOOAAALLLLL! Another for Bühl! That was pure team football from Bayern Munich."
