"Cornelia quickly developed into a very important mainstay in our attack last season thanks to her enormous goal threat, but also due to her very high work rate, and she made an important contribution to our joint success," said Achim Feifel, Bayer 04 Women’s team sporting director: "She is a very ambitious player aiming to achieve even more. That makes her very valuable to our team."
In 2024/25, the Denmark international, who joined Leverkusen from HB Køge in her home country, became the Werkself's top scorer in her very first season. Her twelve goals in her first 22 Bundesliga games have not been added to this term as Kramer has only played four league games this term after being sidelined for several weeks with a muscle injury. The 23-year-old striker has earned five international caps for Denmark to date (scoring one goal).
"I'm very happy to be playing for Bayer 04 and feel very comfortable with all the people here, who have a lot of confidence in me. We have a great foundation we can build on as a team," says Kramer: "After the long injury break, I'm only looking ahead from now on, I want to keep scoring lots of goals and give everything for my team to compete with the top three."

Bayer 04 put in a brilliant performance to beat RB Leipzig 4-1 on Bundesliga matchday 32 and are now fourth in a Champions League spot. The Black and Reds took control of the game right from the start and, with 75 per cent possession at one stage, took a 2-0 lead into the break through Patrik Schick (25’) and Nathan Tella (45+1’). The visitors initially tried to do more after the break, but the Werkself remained determined and Schick scored his second goal to increase the lead to 3-0 (76'). The Red Bulls pulled a goal back through Christoph Baumgartner (80'), but the disciplined Leverkusen side were not rattled - and certainly not Schick: The Czechia international crowned a brilliant display with his third goal shortly before the final whistle to make the final score 4-1.

In the previous game against RB Leipzig in December last year, the Werkself turned came from behind to win 3-1 and further improved Leverkusen's already strong record against the Red Bulls. Montrell Culbreath stood out with his first goal on his debut for the Black and Reds. While the 18-year-old would certainly like to score a second goal against Leipzig on Saturday night, the attack-minded visitors come to the BayArena in confident mood after five Bundesliga victories in a row. The Nordkurve12 supporters group knows the Werkself will therefore once again be reliant on the vociferous support of the fans, and has once again called for the ‘Finally Red’ campaign in the run-in. Today’s matchday news.
