🏆 Germany show their class as Denmark are hit for four | OneFootball

Germany put down a marker in their Euro 2022 opener as they beat dark horses Denmark 4-0 at the Brentford Community Stadium.

Scorers: Magull 20′, Schüller 57′, Lattwein 79′, Popp 86′

West London was the venue for tonight’s intriguing clash and it was Chelsea captain Pernille Harder who the crowd had come to see with Denmark looking to upset the giants’ of the women’s game.

It was a fairly nervy start from both sides but it was the Danes who had the best opportunity in the opening exchanges with Rikke Madsen clipping her header wide of the post.

But it was the six times’ champions who almost scored inside 10 minutes as Lina Magull’s first-time effort from 25 yards crashed back off the crossbar.

And it was Magull who got the opening goal on 20 minutes as she made the most of some hesitant defending and fired in a superb effort past Lene Christensen and into the top right-hand corner.

Into the second half and Germany made their dominance pay by doubling the lead on the hour mark.

A corner from the left found Lea Schüller, who leapt highest and headed in from close range.

Martina Voss-Tecklenburg’s side cemented a brilliant victory with 10 minutes to go as Lena Lattwein got on the end of a loose ball inside the area and blasted home before Alexandra Popp’s diving header made it four.
