The record came with a dominant win over Freiburg, powered by two goals from Momoko Tanikawa in the 18th minute and stoppage time. Vanessa Gilles scored in the 42nd minute, and Klara Bühl added Bayern’s fourth in the 72nd. Freiburg’s Luca Birkholz scored in the 64th minute.
Bayern had matched their previous club record of 44 consecutive Bundesliga matches without defeat only six days earlier, in a home win over Mainz. That match also marked the return from injury of Germany internationals Lena Oberdorf and Giulia Gwinn.
Gwinn started against Freiburg, while Oberdorf came on after just over an hour. Oberdorf then helped create Bayern’s 3-1 goal by supplying the pass for Bühl to score.
