Schueller hat-trick sends Bayern women to first double
A Lea Schueller hat-trick took Bayern Munich to a 4-2 win over Werder Bremen in the German Cup final on Thursday, sealing the club's first domestic double.
Bayern won 3-1 at home against Freiburg in the Frauen Bundesliga on Sunday to win their third straight league title.
In front of 45,146 spectators, a sell-out in Cologne, Schueller opened the scoring after six minutes, heading in a rebound after Giulia Gwinn hit the crossbar.
Carolin Simon doubled Bayern's lead on the half-hour but Bremen, playing in their first final, pulled one back in first-half stoppage time through Rieke Dieckmann.
Schueller snuffed out any hopes Bremen had of a comeback with two goals inside 14 minutes midway through the second-half.
Bremen's Larissa Muehlhaus scored a consolation goal in second-half stoppage time.
With the title, Bayern said goodbye to coach Alexander Strauss. Strauss, who has been in charge for the past three seasons, will move to Angel City FC in the American National Women's Soccer League in the summer.
Thursday's final was the first not to feature Wolfsburg since 2014, with the Wolves having won the past 11 German Cups in a row.
If Bayern's men's team win at RB Leipzig on Saturday, they will win the men's Bundesliga, making it the fifth time both have won the Bundesliga in the same season.
