Tooor for Germany, 0:3 by Lea Schüller
Jule Brand heads a half-high ball from the half field to Lea Schüller, who had snuck away behind the defense. At the penalty spot, the FC Bayern Munich striker coldly shoots in the bottom right corner.
75
16:22
Ebru Topçu is lying on the ground in his own penalty area after a clearance and is being treated. The Turkish women use the break for another drinking break.

Referee Maria Marotta asks for a drink break in the blazing sun and high temperatures.
69
16:15
Nicole Anyomi chips a ball from the right towards the far post. Goalkeeper Selda Akgöz comes out of her goal and picks up the ball in front of Klara Bühl.
67
16:14
The German team controls what is happening and ties up the Turkish women at the back, who are now losing their strength.
64
16:11
Huth holds the ball on the left lane and waits for Sara Doorsoun to overflow. However, the full-back is run off by a Turkish woman.

Tooor for Germany, 0:2 by Klara Bühl
Now the spell is broken! Bühl is completely free on the right side of the penalty area after a corner and takes a dry shot from the edge of the penalty area with his left. The shot into the near corner is untenable for Akgöz.
59
16:04
Dallmann almost follows up! After a cross from the right, Dallmann has the better timing against her opponent, but Akgöz saves for the corner…
57
16:02
Tooor for Germany, 0:1 by Felicitas Rauch
Relief for the German team! To a shrill whistling concert from the Turkish spectators, Rauch runs up and calmly watches goalkeeper Akgöz. As this moves to the left, Rauch pushes the leather halfway up and places it in the right corner.
56
16:01
Penalty! After a cross from Huth, a Turkish woman has her hand on the ball. Is that the lead for Germany?
55
16:00
Germany has the ball almost constantly and locks the opponents in their penalty area. The flanks from the outside are currently not finding a buyer in the danger zone.
53
15:58
Yağmur Uraz, one of Turkey’s top players, leaves the field early. She is replaced by İpek Kaya.

Substitution for Turkey: Yağmur Uraz
51.
15:56
Rauch has the first conclusion of the second half! Turkey cannot clear a pass from the right and the ball falls in the center of the penalty area in front of Rauch’s feet. But her low shot is too central and no problem for Akgöz.
49
15:55
Busem Seker takes a corner into the penalty area, but this is initially cleared. Ebru Topçu gets the ball again on the outside right, but cannot find a teammate with her pass to the middle. Nevertheless, this is a rare offensive moment of relief for the Turks.
47
15:53
The Germans are playing in the new jersey for the first time today, which the men will also wear in the upcoming games and at the World Cup in Qatar. It stands out with a wide black chest stripe. Away, the women will continue to wear their mint green dress.

15:51
The teams are back on the pitch, there were no changes.

Kick-off 2nd half
45
15:38
Mid-term conclusion:
It’s break at Bitci Timsah Park in Bursa! The German national team is surprisingly not on course against Turkey and says goodbye to the dressing room with a goalless draw. Passionate, defensively excellently organized and disciplined, the defeated hosts successfully fought against a deficit. On the other hand, Martina Voss-Tecklenburg’s team can hardly find a gap and created few clear chances. However, the DFB selection would have bagged the qualification for the upcoming World Cup in Australia and New Zealand even if the points were shared.
45
15:32
Once again, the DFB selection comes to an end after a corner kick. Klara Bühl hits the ball well over the opponent’s box from quite a long distance.
45
15:32
Official injury time (minutes): 3
44
15:30
The few spectators in the stands really freak out as soon as Turkey approaches the middle line. However, this has often not happened.
41
15:27
There are only four minutes left to play in the first round. The team of national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg can think of very little in this phase.
38
15:25
What a stomp! Several times German players start to finish, but nobody hits the ball decisively. Turkey indeed continues to hold the draw here.
35
15:22
Lina Magull often tries crosses from both sides. So far, however, the experiments have not brought any real danger or any significant gain.
34
15:20
Slowly but surely, the mood in the field is heating up. Martina Voss-Tecklenburg’s team is now also getting involved in discussions again and again.
31
15:17
Yellow card for Lena Lattwein (Germany)
Lena Lattwein elbows Emine Ecem Esen in the face and receives the first warning of the game.
30
15:16
The game is now running again. After a good half hour, little has changed – Germany keeps running, but only gets through in a few cases.
27
15:12
That hurts! Alexandra Popp and Yağmur Uraz hit their heads from a corner kick. Both players are back after a short treatment break. Meanwhile, referee Maria Marotta uses the opportunity for a short drinking break.
24
15:10
Although not many spectators found their way into the stadium overall, the few fans present created a great atmosphere and cheered on their team loudly and continuously.
22
15:08
As before, the German team runs tirelessly. After the two opportunities a few minutes ago, Turkey’s defense has stabilized for the moment.
19
15:06
Again Alexandra Popp lurks in the sixteen and gets the leather. From the left, the goalscorer fails at Selda Akgöz, who is on the ground in time.
16
15:02
Almost the lead for Martina Voss-Tecklenburg’s team! Alexandra Popp places a long ball in the middle. Kezban Tağ intervened and busted the ball just over his own crossbar.
14
15:00
The pressure from Germany is increasing! After the next corner kick, the leather Klara Bühl falls on her feet at the penalty spot. The 21-year-old also cannot get through from a central location. Turkey can now hardly free themselves from their own half.
12.
14:58
Lina Magull hits a free kick from the right pretty tight in the middle. However, the Turkish defense has so far not let much burn in the dangerous area.
10
14:56
Next possibility of the DFB selection: Alexandra Popp gets the ball more or less by chance in the six-yard box, but is blocked in the following shot attempt.
7.
14:53
But now! Nicole Anyomi asserts herself on the right wing and plays the ball cleverly behind the defence. Linda Dallmann sneaks up there, but doesn’t hit the ball properly in a good position and warps clearly.
6.
14:52
Martina Voss-Tecklenburg’s team therefore has a lot of ball possession. However, Germany has not yet made it into the opposing sixteen.
4.
14:49
With the hosts, the match plan is already visible in the opening minutes: Turkey is deep in its own half and narrows all spaces.
1.
14:47
It starts in Bitci Timsah Park, which is unfortunately sparsely populated – referee Maria Marotta from Italy gives the go-ahead!
14:17
With Merle Frohms, Kathrin-Julia Hendrich, Lina Magull and Svenja Huth, only four players from the starting eleven of the European Championship final against England are left. Goal scorer Alexandra Popp is on board again, while both Giulia Gwinn and Lena Oberdorf had to cancel their international matches.
14:05
The first leg against Turkey was a clear affair in favor of the DFB selection. In November last year, Germany celebrated a sovereign 8-0 win. Accordingly, there are clear expectations for Martina Voss-Tecklenburg. “We have the clear goal of qualifying with two wins and putting in convincing performances on the pitch,” said the national coach before the first competitive game after the European Championship.
13:53
The team of national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg tackles the final two games of the World Cup qualifier. The DFB selection is currently leading Group H with a three-point lead over Serbia. A win from the remaining games is enough for Germany to take part in next year’s finals in Australia and New Zealand. Only the first in the table qualifies directly for the tournament, the second has to go to the playoffs.
1:45 p.m
Hello and welcome to Qualifying for the 2023 World Cup! The German women’s national team wants to buy their ticket for the upcoming tournament early against Turkey. Kick-off in Bursa is at 14:45.
