Martinez with a distance hammer! The striker has a lot of space in front of the box and simply takes a shot. The 24-year-old’s shot flies just past the goal to the left.

6:19 p.m
The visitors have now stabilized a little in defense and are no longer allowing as many chances to score. Nevertheless, there is still only one goal and it is only the DFB team playing.

6:17 p.m
Endemann is really in the mood today and is constantly sounding the alarm on the left wing. The Wolfsburg woman’s next cross can be intercepted by Meršnik.

After a wild last ten minutes, things have now calmed down a bit. Germany lets the ball run along the halfway line and calms and brings calm into the game.

6:10 p.m
Endemann misses the double! The 24-year-old is sent deep and evades the defenders. Free-standing in front of Meršnik, she puts the ball well past the goal to the right.

Deflected shot from G. Gwinn

Slovenia is swimming! This is all happening far too quickly for the Slovenians and Germany can combine as they please in front of the penalty area. Dallmann pulls the strings in the German offensive and this time plays for Gwinn. The captain tries from 16 meters, but the ball is blocked for a corner.

6:04 p.m
Martinez leaves the third league! In this phase, the German women are inspired by the lead and are now starting to do magic: the visitors can only watch as the national team combines into the sixteen. Dallmann lays it back from the baseline for Martinez, whose shot from six meters fails because of Korošec’s back. Endemann puts the follow-up shot past the box.

6:01 p.m
The visitors’ good start completely evaporated after the second goal at the latest and now Saša Kolman’s team has to be careful not to fall under the wheels here. How does Slovenia react to the double blow?

Great for Germany, 2-0 by Elisa Senß
There is the next goal for the DFB women: It was brilliantly prepared by the goalscorer to make it 1-0, who used a physical illusion to let an opponent run into space and then cross it to Senß in the penalty area. The Frankfurt player has a lot of time ten meters in front of the goal and puts the ball unstoppable in the left corner.

Almost a double whammy! With Brand’s free kick cross, Küver extends the ball to Knaak, who heads it again from the baseline into the center. At the five point, Martinez prevails and nods the ball into the left corner. However, Knaak was previously offside, which is why the goal rightly does not count.

Dallmann is cleared by Korošec 23 meters from the goal and takes a free kick.

Great for Germany, 1-0 by Vivien Endemann
Dallmann sends Endemann, who starts at exactly the right moment, into the depths. The winger exploits her speed advantages against Eržen and pushes the ball through Meršnik’s legs. This is the early lead for Germany.

Lucky for the Germans! Kramžar is sent into the depths and evades Küver. The linesman raises the flag, but the replay shows that the striker was not offside. On the other hand, Martinez scored the first goal for the DFB team, but Meršnik was there.

5:49 p.m
A brave start from the Slovenians, who put the home team under pressure in their own third from the start. But Germany is not impressed by this at first and is trying to find playful solutions.

Game start
5:42 p.m
The Slovenian women were not qualified for the European Championship last year, but at least managed to get promoted to League B in the Nations League. Coach Saša Kolman’s starting line-up includes two Bundesliga players: Maja Sternad from Werder Bremen and Sara Agrež from 1. FC Köln. Ex-Frankfurt player Lara Prašnikar, who now plays in Utah, is probably the most prominent name among the guests.
5:37 p.m
Let’s take a look at the personnel that the two coaches are sending onto the pitch in the Rudolf Harbig Stadium: Compared to the Spain defeat in December, only one position in the German defense has changed. Camilla Küver will play for the DFB for the third time today and will be given preference in central defense over her club colleague Janina Minge. There are three new faces on the offensive: Since the outside players Bühl and Cerci are both missing with injuries, Endemann and Dallmann are moving into the starting line-up. Nicole Anyomi was in the center of attack against Spain, but today she is only sitting on the bench. Shekiera Martinez from West Ham United is in the starting line-up for the first time in her third international match.
5:27 p.m
After a strong European Championship in which Christian Wück’s team reached the semi-finals, the last international year ended for the DFB team with a tragic defeat in the Nations League final against Spain: the national team had to admit defeat 3-0 in Madrid after a 0-0 draw in the first leg. Due to the many missed opportunities of the DFB selection, the title would have been possible against the world champions, who bitterly punished the German negligence in the end.
5:18 p.m
At the beginning of March, Christian Wück and his team will start qualifying for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil. The first international match of the year also marks the position of the 2025 European Championship semi-finalists. The DFB team landed in a group with Slovenia, Norway and Austria and is considered the clear favorite. Nevertheless, the other three teams are good test stones on the way to the tournament. In order to qualify directly for next summer’s tournament and avoid the play-offs, the German women must become group winners.
16:55
Hello and welcome to the start of the German women’s national team’s international match in 2026! The first matchday of the World Cup qualification starts today in Dresden against Slovenia.
