The German team starts with a clear success in the title mission. The eleven find their way into the game better and better – in the end the victory could have been even better.
Made to measure debut for the German team at the EM 2022 in England: At the start of the group phase, the team of national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg clearly won 4-0 (1-0) against Denmark. Lina Magull (21st), Lea Schüller (57th), Lena Lattwein (78th) and Alexandra Popp (86th) scored in a largely one-sided game in Brentford. The German team also managed to get revenge: At the 2017 European Championship, Denmark had won 2-1 in the quarter-finals.
The two-time world champion, who ascended the European Championship throne for the last time nine years ago, is the leader of Group B before the next game against Spain on Tuesday (from 9 p.m. in the live ticker on t-online). The Danes have to fight for progress fear
The DFB-Elf became more and more courageous
In front of 15,746 spectators at the Brentford Community Stadium in London, Svenja Huth led the DFB team onto the pitch as captain. The regular captain Popp was initially on the bench as a result of a knee injury and a corona infection.
The Germans, who are not among the top favorites after two disappointing tournaments (quarter-finals at World Cup and European Championship), were close to taking the lead in the 10th minute despite a nervous start. Felicitas Rauch only hit the crossbar from a distance. Just three minutes later, the full-back managed the same feat again.
