Momoko Tanigawa scores brace for Bayern Munich in Bundesliga win

Bayern Munich midfielder Momoko Tanigawa delivered a standout performance during a Frauen-Bundesliga match against Freiburg, scoring two goals to help her team secure a 4-1 victory. Her first goal, scored in the 18th minute, was a spectacular 45-meter long-range strike from near the center circle that caught the opposing goalkeeper out of position.

German media outlet Der Spiegel described the strike as a ‘dream-like goal’ from the centerline. Tanigawa’s performance contributed to Bayern Munich extending their unbeaten streak to 45 matches. Former Japan national team player Kosuke Ota praised Tanigawa’s ability to ‘complete the play alone,’ noting her exceptional striking accuracy and physical strength as she transitions into a key figure for both her club and the Japanese national team.
