María León takes a free-kick from the right half-field straight into the centre, but the Germans get the set-piece well defended.

Almost the big counterattack chance for Germany. Popp wants to push through for Bühl against the Spanish defence, but Irene Paredes intervenes at the last moment and intercepts the pass.

Spain obviously coped well with the early deficit and are now taking control of the game. Germany is a little lower.

the huge opportunity to compensate! Patri starts again by sending Lucía García through the interface into the penalty area. The striker runs towards Frohms alone, corners the goalkeeper, but then drives a little too far to the outside. From an acute angle, her shot lands on the right side netting!

Patri wants to send Lucía García with a high chip behind the German back four, but the pass goes far too long and ends up in goal.

This dream start will of course give Martina Voss-Tecklenburg’s team even more self-confidence.

Tooor for Germany, 1-0 by Klara Bühl
The early lead for Germany! And the DFB women benefit from a big mistake by Spain’s goalkeeper! Sandra Paños is passed by her team-mate Leila Ouahabi and wants to shift the action to the right-hand side. However, the ball slipped over her foot and landed right on Bühl, who hit the leather in the box on the left. The attacker places the ball once on her left foot and finishes it dry from ten meters into the bottom right corner!

With Denmark beating Finland 1-0 in tonight’s first game, Germany could qualify for the quarter-finals with a win. It’s about to start!

The referee of the match is the Frenchwoman Stéphanie Frappart.

Spain coach Vilda makes two changes since beating Finland. Laia Aleixandri and Sheila are playing in place of Irene Guerrero and Esther.

The Spaniards also started the tournament successfully. There was a 4-1 win against Finland at the start. Nevertheless, there is still room for improvement in the Spanish team, especially in terms of callousness, there is still room for improvement. In addition, Spain has never won against Germany. The respect for the German team is correspondingly high, as midfielder Patri says: “I think we saw Germany at their absolute best. They showed what they are capable of. They used a fairly direct style, tried to get the ball like that into the box as often as possible and they scored some goals too – they could have scored even more.”

Let’s take a look at the line-up of the German team. Due to a corona infection, Lea Schüller has to be replaced today. Captain Alexandra Popp will replace them in the starting line-up. Otherwise, Martina Voss-Tecklenburg relies on the winning team from the Denmark game. Lina Magull, who was still training individually on Sunday, got fit in time.
20:00
After the 4-0 win against Denmark, the mood in the German quarter is optimistic. Martina Voss-Tecklenburg’s team put in a strong performance against the Danes and could have won even better. With Spain, however, a much stronger opponent is now waiting for the DFB women, as the national coach knows: “Spain has many good solutions. They have also made a big step mentally and are among the title aspirants. We will find our means to take Spain forward to pose problems.”
