Maybe Germany will get some rest in the game now. First, however, Hanshaw is allowed to cross into the hands of Frohm.

Tooor for Germany, 1-0 through Lina Magull
Suddenly losing the ball leads to the lead! Bühl conquers the ball on the left against Carina Wenninger and plays from the edge of the penalty area to the back area. There, Popp has a bad position on the ball, but cleverly lets Magull through, who lurks directly behind her and hits the right corner with her left flat!
25
21:27
Now comes some rest into play. Both teams equalize in this phase in midfield because they attack early and lose the balls accordingly.
21
21:23
It’s constantly back and forth, although the Austrians play their attack badly after the short power play of the Germans and are allowed to rebuild Germany.
19
21:22
Smoke takes over the standard again and it gets a bit dangerous. Georgieva extends the ball just over the goal at the first post. The second corner is executed briefly before a cross flies into the penalty area. In this case, Zinsberger is there with his fist.
18
21:20
There is some relief from Huth, who is strong at dribbling. Maybe she misses a play through the middle into the penalty area, but she still gets a corner kick.
17
21:19
From the right hemisphere, the next cross sails into the German penalty area. Georgieva narrowly misses so that Kathrin-Julia Hendrich can block behind her.
14
21:15
Georgieva meets the Post! From the right, Verena Hanshaw pulls the ball far into the sixteen, where Georgieva can loosen up a bit at the back and, with the air superiority, heads the ball to the aluminum on the left. Frohm could have held it, but seemed certain that it wouldn’t go in.
13.
21:15
There’s a lot of pressure coming from outsiders. A German clears a short chipped cross with her head to the next corner.
12.
21:14
Barbara Dunst hits the second corner of the game in the middle, but then the goalkeeper grabs again. Frohms saves the ball.
10
21:13
The Germans answer on the right! Huth runs down the right line and crosses into the center. Bühl takes the ball in the penalty area, puts it down again for Popp, but the striker pulls the ball over the goal from 13 meters!
9.
21:10
Austria has the first good chance! Hegering drives the ball out of defense himself, but loses the ball in midfield. The Austrians play quickly forward, send Hickelsberger-Füller steeply, but the striker fails with a low shot from 16 meters in the middle by Frohms!
8th.
21:10
Rauch hits the ball from the left in the middle, but Manuela Zinsberger safely intercepts the ball. The 26-year-old has played a very strong tournament so far and is an important defensive factor.
7.
21:09
After winning the ball, the first look of the Germans is always forward. So Giulia Gwinn gets the first corner of the game after a quick switch.
6.
21:08
For the first time, the Austrians bite into the opponent’s half. However, they do not get into the penalty area, because Germany is closing the back left with combined forces.
5.
21:06
After a collision with Sarah Zadrazil, Hegering remains lying down. She took the Austrian’s knee but gets back up with the help of the fair Zadrazil. It goes on!
3.
21:05
The women in red get very little space from the Germans. Deep in the opposing half, Martina Voss-Tecklenburg’s team wins the ball and builds up safely from behind.
1.
21:03
The first German degree by Svenja Huth is blocked 18 meters from the goal. The Germans put the pressure on!
1.
21:02
Austria toasts. The ball rolls in Brentford and the quarter-finals are on. Let the wild ride begin!
20:57
Shortly before kick-off there is a minute’s silence for Uwe Seeler, the honorary captain of the men’s national team who passed away today. On this occasion, German women also wear mourning ribbons.
20:54
The Nations have taken to the pitch at Brentford Community Stadium. Up to 17,250 spectators can be seated here. The anthems are still playing, but it won’t be long.
20:52
Rebecca Walsh from England is the referee for a home game today. She will be assisted by linesmen Sian Massey-Ellis and Lisa Rashi.
20:49
Although there were few direct duels, the players know each other very well on the pitch. In the last game against Norway, only players who had previously gained experience in the German Bundesliga were in the starting XI. Striker Nicole Billa even became top scorer and footballer of the year in Germany in 2021.
20:43
In fact, Germans and Austrians meet for the first time in a competitive game today. In any case, this is only the second participation in a European Championship for women from the Alpine country. For comparison: Germany alone was able to win the title eight times! When they last participated five years ago, however, the Austrians promptly made it into the semi-finals and were voted Team of the Year at the end of the year.
20:35
Since the Austrians were still fighting for a place in the quarter-finals, Irene Fuhrmann could not allow herself any major rotations. Accordingly, it is not surprising that the national coach only changes in one position. Marina Georgieva celebrates her starting eleven debut at this European Championship. She replaces Viktoria Schnaderbeck, who is only sitting on the bench for the first time.
20:27
Martina Voss-Tecklenburg can again draw from the full today. After she was able to rotate a bit against Finland, her starting eleven is on the field today. Kathrin-Julia Hendrich, Felicitas Rauch, Lena Oberdorf and Lina Magull are on the starting grid today. Sophia Kleinherne, Lena Lattwein, Linda Dallmann and Sara Doorsoun are only watching for the time being.
20:18
The players from Austria go into this game as clear outsiders. Still in 21st place in the world, they only narrowly lost to England (who have since qualified for the semi-finals) at the start of this European Championship, but managed to make it through to the quarter-finals with victories against Northern Ireland and Norway. Now the neighbors from the south have to prove that they can hold their own against top nations.
20:09
Three games, three wins, 9-0 goals: That is the flawless record with which the German women marched through the group stage. The acclaimed start against Denmark was followed by a defensive 2-0 win over Spain before the selection defeated Finland 3-0. Since then, a certain euphoria has developed around the team, which should lead to the next win against Austria and a place in the semi-finals.
20:01
The quarterfinals are coming up! In Brentford, the German women’s national team meets the Austrian team at 9:00 p.m. Warm welcome!
