Germans had the first chance

The Germans, with Carlotta Wamser, Sophia Kleinhernen and Sara Däbritz instead of the missing Sjoeke Nüsken, Kathrin Hendrich (both blocked) and Sarai Linder (injured) in the starting eleven, had shocked the Spaniards almost early. After a wide discount from Ann-Katrin Berger, Klara Bühl moved to the goal, but shot past the long corner (8th). Otherwise there was nothing to be seen aggressively from the DFB selection before the break, but on the defensive they again delivered an enormously strong performance.

The short pass game of BONMATI and Co. worked, but mostly only to outside the penalty area. It was different once, thanks to DFB with help. Franziska Kett served Esther Gonzalez unintentionally on the 911, Berger was able to ward off the shot over the goal (21st). It was only in the last minutes before the break whistle that it became dangerous several times. A free kick flank from Claudia Pina did not find a buyer in the middle (40th).

Paredes headed to the bar

Shortly afterwards, after her Corner captain Irene Paredes, a following fall back from Gonzalez did not succeed as desired (41.). In injury time, Berger had to distinguish himself again at a gonzalez degree (45.+1), another from Pina was too weak (45.+2).

After the restart, the Germans had the first noteworthy campaign again. Solo striker Giovana Hoffmann missed the gate (46th). On the other hand, Berger had to save in the duel with Ona Batlle (52nd). A shot from BONMATI was decisively distracted by Sophia Kleinhernen (58.). The replacement weakened DFB selection was generally better inside in the game and was able to provide relief again and again. Coll was able to defuse a Bühl shot with his knee (63.). It was also the wing player who scored a free kick next to the goal (85th).

Germans left match balls

Two more match balls followed in the finish. A deflected Bühl shot almost sinked into the goal, Wamser failed with the margin just as well on the shiny-reacting Coll (94.). From a German perspective, this revenge in the extension. Of all things, the Berger so strong in the course of the tournament could be surprised by a shot from Bonmati to DEL-Castillo play from a pointed angle into the short corner. After that it was Coll again who recorded the victory with a parade in a shot by Lea Schüller (118th). (APA)
