The start of the German national women’s national team was based on plan. But the star player is worried.
In the ten position, Wück again trusted Linda Dallmann from FC Bayern. The experienced Sarai Linder from VfL Wolfsburg preferred the experienced Sarai Linder from VfL Wolfsburg before the 20-year-old Munich-based Munich Franziska Kett.
Poland Ewa Pajor from FC Barcelona appeared dangerously in the German penalty area after ten seconds, but her cross was still intercepted. The DFB women know the long-time Wolfsburg woman in the best possible way-the respect for the two-time Bundesliga goalkeeper was accordingly great, who mostly dealt with Rebecca Knaak.
The nervousness of the DFB women stretched through the entire first half: too many balls were unnecessarily lost to the deeply standing Polishes. Only one shot from winged flash of fire After 24 minutes, goalkeeper Kinga Szemik had to steer around the post. The DFB women were lucky that the Polish women were just offside with two promising counterattacks.
Then the shock followed in the 36th minute: Giulia Gwinn twisted his knee during a rescue operation against Ewa Pajor. The full -back came back to the pitch briefly, but then limped from the lawn based on a supervisor. It had to be replaced with a face -frowned face and tears
Carlotta Wamser came into play as a new right -back. Defense chief Janina Minge took over the rainbow bandage. After the change, the German women shook a lot and played braver, more liberated and much more powerful.
A remarkable shot from fire from 17 meters lowered the net for 1-0. A flank from Brand then headed Schüller in her typical way to 2-0 – it was already her 53rd goal in the 76th international. Before that, Sjoeke Nüsken could have already made the second goal with a header from a short distance.
