💻 Better late than never: Germany get VAR luck at the third attempt | OneFootball

The VAR had already become the German women's team's arch-nemesis twice that evening. Initially, Klara Bühl's supposed 1-0 goal was denied due to an offside position, before a already awarded handball penalty was corrected to a free kick from the edge of the penalty area. Both decisions were still justifiable.

In the third "duel" with the VAR, the DFB team finally had success: A not particularly harsh tackle against Linda Dallmann was rated as a penalty by referee Catarina Campos after reviewing the footage.

Sjoeke Nüsken stepped up to take the penalty and equalized from 11 meters to make it 1-1. Just a few minutes later, Lea Schüller completed the German comeback and scored to make it 2-1. In the lead-up to this scene, Emma Strøm Snerle was hit hard in the face with the ball and was unable to continue playing.
