One thing is certain: Germany is definitely going to the World Cup in Brazil. The Wück team plays ice-cold against a well-known opponent. A “new” one also hits.
The DFB women have completed their qualification for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil ahead of schedule. National coach Christian Wück’s team won 2-0 (2-0) against Norway on the penultimate matchday of Group 4 and is therefore certain to make it to the finals.
Debutant Marie Müller (18th minute) and Carlotta Wamser (27th) scored the winner in front of 33,425 fans in a strong performance by the DFB team over long periods. Overall, the 2-0 score corresponded to the balance of power in the atmospheric Cologne stadium. Although the Wück team didn’t succeed in everything, they played with a lot of commitment, conviction and were always forward-oriented. Elisa Senß and Sjoeke Nüsken, who led the team onto the field for the first time as captain in her 58th international match, determined the rhythm in the midfield center. Bühl, Dallmann and Jule Brand had their creative moments.
Despite some negligence on the part of the DFB women, Norway rarely appeared dangerous in front of the German goal. Keeper Ann-Katrin Berger parried away the few chances the visitors had, as if the worries she had after the abdominal injury she suffered a good three weeks ago had never happened. And once luck was on the DFB team’s side when Signe Gaupset’s goal was disallowed for offside shortly before half-time. A close and probably wrong decision.
In the end the Germans didn’t care. Ten years after the Olympic victory in Rio, for which the former heroines were honored in Cologne, it is clear that the DFB team can go on the title hunt in Brazil again. Like the 2016 Olympic final against Sweden (2:1), the World Cup final will also take place on July 25, 2027 in the legendary Maracana. The mission has begun.
The game to read in the ticker:
Germany 2-0 Norway
90.+3 – End in Cologne. The DFB women in a celebratory mood. The 2-0 win against Norway is completely fine based on the way the game went, the early World Cup qualification is completely deserved. National coach Wück’s team was clearer in their actions in the face of largely harmless guests – and took advantage of their chances in an ice-cold manner.
90th minute of play – Three minutes are replayed.
89th minute of the game – Another German change: Selina Cerci comes into the game for the last few minutes, Bühl goes down.
89th minute of the game – As I’m writing, the Scandinavians have another opportunity: Blakstad gets into the DFB box on the left and finishes from the penalty spot. But her shot from the right goes wide of the goal.
85th minute of play – There’s probably nothing coming from the Norwegians here; the guests have stopped their offensive game for some time now.
81st minute of play – Klara Bühl again, who moves from the left to the middle and simply shoots centrally in the penalty area. But Fiskerstrand has no problems with the unplaced attempt.
