Linda Dallmann (9th), Schüller (25th/48th) and Sarai Linder (45th) scored the goals in front of 32,398 fans in Bremen – and thus ensured a thick exclamation mark in the last home game in front of the European Championship (July 2 to 27) and after the recent discerings for some peace.

While the Dutchers remained harmless without the Bundesliga goalkeeper Lineth Beerensteyn, the DFB women kept the pressure up. Schüller was close to it (11/22) before she only had to insert a precise cross from Jule Brand. It was in the 50th goal in the DFB dress. Linder crowned the strong appearance before the break with her first international goal.
Lena Oberdorf (23) also applauded satisfied in the stands. The key player, whose possible participation in EM had also recently occurred, currently only trains after her cruciate ligament tear. According to Wück, the Munich native makes good progress.
