Bayer Leverkusen's women's side defeated Viktoria Berlin 2:0 in the Round of 32 of the German Cup on Saturday, 27 September 2026. The visitors controlled proceedings from the outset, finishing comfortably with their lead intact. And here's the thing — the result reflected a straightforward superiority on the pitch.
Leverkusen dominated possession at 66 per cent, while Berlin managed just 34. The German Cup match saw six attacks from the hosts compared to twenty-six from the visitors, though Leverkusen's twenty-one shots proved far more threatening. By then, the statistical line-up told its own story.
Recent form favoured Leverkusen, who had beaten Freiburg 2:1 on 20 September before falling to Bayern in their next outing. Berlin, meanwhile, carried an unbeaten run into this fixture, winning their last five matches including victories over Meppen and Cologne II. To be fair, both sides brought momentum into the cup tie.
Leverkusen registered five shots on target with two finding the net, while Berlin managed only one attempt on goal. The visitors also committed just one foul compared to Berlin's zero, and neither side received a red card. The statistics showed a match decided by clear advantage rather than drama.
The victory sends Leverkusen through to the next round of the German Cup, while Berlin's unbeaten streak comes to an end. The result maintains the pattern of the season so far, with Leverkusen showing the consistency expected of a side built to compete. Cup football rarely produces surprises when the gap is this wide.
