Just two minutes in, the ball found the back of the hosts\u2019 net, but goal scorer Ronja Leubner had been narrowly offside when Rita Schumacher played the long diagonal pass. The offside goal gave the BVB Women an extra boost of confidence: Just four minutes later, Ronja Leubner was once again the center of attention when she played a pinpoint through ball to Ramona Maier, who had broken free. While Maier\u2019s first chip attempt bounced off the post, she was able to slot home the rebound for a 1-0 lead (6th minute). Just one attack later, Ann-Sophie Vogel - who was celebrating her 28th birthday that day - broke through on the left flank. Her low cross set up the second goal for Ramona Maier, who easily tapped it in to make it 2-0 (7th minute).<\/p>\n<p><img data-assetref=\"Frauen-Duisburg-2-1789315235269\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/09/13/frauen-spielbericht/Frauen-Duisburg-2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>In the ten minutes following the early lead, the game settled down somewhat before Schumacher delivered a pinpoint cross to the far post, where Lara Schmidt headed it in from close range to make it 3-0 (18th minute).

A long throw-in caught the Duisburg defense out of position, but two-goal scorer Ramona Maier missed a clear chance in front of the goal against substitute goalkeeper Ilke Brandsma (46'). Immediately afterward, Schumacher scored on a free kick -&nbsp;4-0 in the 47th minute.

Last season and even at the start of this one, there was a lot of noise surrounding me. He always came to me and tried to push me to get better and focus on what I can control. And he always told me that I can make a difference. He\u2019s one of my best friends on the team and has helped me a lot. Not just after this game \u2014 even in past games, when things were going well, I always went up to him and said, \u2018Thanks for helping me so much.\u2019 He\u2019s one of the people who\u2019s really helped me get to this moment.

He said, \u2018If I score, I\u2019ll come over to you.\u2019 He\u2019s an honest guy, and he kept his word. When it comes to Fabio, I\u2019m not the kind of person who judges him solely by his goals. Even last season, he had a lot of good moments in my opinion. Of course, people will always talk, but I think he did what he could. When the confidence comes, you get your chances, and things start to click, it\u2019s a joy to watch. Because we see just how much quality and talent he has.
