Bayern Munich celebrated as "one big family" after a 2-1 victory over Manchester United saw them win the inaugural women's World Sevens Football title.

Sarah Zadrazil's powerful strike clinched the win for Bayern in Friday's final in Estoril, with Momoko Tanikawa having cancelled out Simi Awujo's opener for United.

Matches consisted of 15-minute halves on half-sized pitches, with the tournament featuring a huge prize pool.

Bayern scooped £1.8m ($2.5m) for their triumph.

"It was such an important goal," said Zadrazil.

"So I just ran to the team-mates that couldn't play because we are all one big family and it was also for them that we are champions now."

Bayern won all three of their group-stage matches, and then hammered Paris Saint-Germain 5-0 in the last four.

United, meanwhile, beat rivals Manchester City 2-0 in the semi-finals, with the Red Devils having topped their group.

PSG beat City 3-1 in the third-place match, coming from behind after Jessica Park's opener.

"It was really exciting, there was a lot of attacking football and it was really competitive," said City coach Nick Cushing.

"Personally, I like the format, and I think it should stay - it's exciting for the fans and the players and I see no reason why it shouldn't be part of the calendar.

"I think it suits the attacking players more – it’s fast and physical and great to watch.

"It allows players to play with freedom – almost like when they were kids – because wherever you are you are on the pitch, you’re always close to the goal and our players have really enjoyed it."
