What's going on here? After the first few minutes of the Euro quarter-final between the German women's team and the French national team passed without much excitement, a double shock hit the Germans that could hardly have been more bitter.
After an innocuous free kick that ended unspectacularly out of bounds, referee Tess Olofsson was suddenly called to the VAR monitor for a potential red card.
Unfortunately, it quickly became clear in front of the screen what had happened. Kathrin Hendrich had pulled the hair of French center-back Griedge Mbock during the set piece. Red card for violent conduct and a penalty!
Grace Geyoro managed to convert the subsequent penalty with a lot of luck, as Ann-Kathrin Berger got a touch on the ball.
But Christian Wück's team apparently isn't ready to give up just yet. After a corner from Klara Bühl, Sjoeke Nüsken scored the equalizer with a header.
Although it's clear that playing an entire game with one player down against the strong neighbors from France will only get harder, everything is still possible here.
Now it's your turn: Will the German women make a comeback or will France advance? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments!
