Another time Rayer came into the German shot circle, but can not bring the ball dangerously on goal. Otherwise, the DHB selection defends well and will take the lead in the quarter break.

The Brits’ best chance! Oruz loses the ball a little unnecessarily in the build-up game, Rayer dribbles heavily into the shooting circle. She misses the ball on Sunday, but also just wide of the left post.

Goal for Germany, 0:1 by Sonja Zimmermann
The fifth penalty corner then sits! Zimmermann aims for the right corner again after Horn has been put down, but this time Walker doesn’t get her body or her racket decisively in between. Germany leads!

Penalty corner missed by Sonja Zimmermann (Germany)
The ball is in the goal, but before that another penalty corner was decided due to an English physical contact. A supposed goal due to a dangerous game might have been conceded anyway.

The video evidence checks whether Stapenhorst touched the ball with his foot beforehand. This cannot be clarified exactly, so the decision stands.

Penalty corner for Germany! Nolte puts the ball out to Stapenhorst, who acts a little too hesitantly. But she stumbles the ball to Neal’s foot, forcing the penalty corner.

Overall, the game is now shifted a little more into the English half. The Germans come into the firing circle on the left, but a dangerous game is whistled off there.

12:22
The hostesses have not yet allowed anything to go on Rayer’s shot either, so far the teams have largely neutralized each other. After a previously well-executed attack, Zimmermann got stuck on Pearne-Webb, she would have been in a good shooting position.

12:20 p.m
The Danas haven’t got too dangerously into the enemy’s firing circle yet. After a good start, the English women were a bit more in charge.

Julia Sunday with the first strong parade! A somewhat hidden shot from Rayer flies to the left corner from a fairly central position. Sonntag reacts well and deflects the ball to the outside with his stick.

The DHB selection puts a lot of pressure on at the beginning and can then also defend the opponent’s first advance. Nike Lorenz works well with backwards.

While the DHB women have not always shone on the world stage in recent years, a medal at the European Championships is actually a safe bet. With 14 participations, there was once no medal – 2017 in the Netherlands. The Danas want to prevent a second EM without a medal.
12:11
The teams have entered the Mönchengladbach hockey park. The English women are currently singing “God Save the King”, followed in a few seconds by the German national anthem.
12:06
Judging by the course of the tournament so far, the German team is heavily favored in the bronze medal match. In the much weaker group B, there was already a German-English duel, the DHB selection clearly won 5-0. Nevertheless, the English women made it to the semi-finals, where it was even clearer against strong Dutch women – 0:7. So now it’s time for the second game against Germany.
12:02
Since the Honamas also lost their semi-final yesterday, there will definitely be no German European champions in Mönchengladbach. The men lost 4-5 in a penalty shootout – to today’s opposing women’s nation, England.
11:55
Valentin Altenburg also noted that the grief was very great. But the coach also tried early on to focus on the chances in the game for third place: “I think it can be an important step forward in the development process for us as a team.”
11:51
The disappointment after the semi-final defeat by Belgium was great, an early goal in the second minute was enough for the Belgians to win 1-0. In recent years, the Germans have often only just lost in the knockout games at home tournaments, the last major title dates back to 2013 – the European Championship. “In the last few years, we always felt we were missing that little bit of luck in the playoffs,” said Nike Lorenz after the semi-finals.
11:45
Hello and welcome to the game for third place in the European Field Hockey Championships! After the German women lost 1-0 to Belgium at their home tournament in Mönchengladbach the day before yesterday, the Danas still want to take the bronze medal with them. At 12:15 it starts against the English women.
