🚨 Quarter-finals in sight: Germany women win with quick double | OneFootball

Second win in the second group stage match: The German women have defeated Denmark 2-1 and thus have the best chances of advancing to the quarterfinals.

In front of more than 34,000 spectators at the St. Jakob-Park in Basel, the eight-time European champion was not given anything for free.

Double VAR setback for Germany

Because it came to the first setback early on: Klara Bühl scored after a pass from Jule Brand, but the goal was denied due to offside by Sjoeke Nüsken.

Shortly thereafter, Amalie Vangsgaard shocked goalkeeper Ann-Kathrin Berger with a shot into the short corner and Denmark's lead (25.).

In the aftermath, Germany ran against the Scandinavian defensive bulwark, but remained unsuccessful. A penalty initially awarded was corrected to a free kick after VAR intervention. So it went into the half-time break with a 0-1 deficit.

Nüsken and Schüller turn the game around

But in the third attempt, the VAR helped the Germans: A foul on Linda Dallmann led to a penalty, which Nüsken safely converted to 1-1 (56.).

Goal-getter Lea Schüller even made it 2-1 just a few minutes later and made the comeback of the Wück protégés perfect (66.).

In the following 30 minutes, the DFB team brought the hard-won lead to the finish and comes to a maximum of six points after two matches. On Saturday, it's against Sweden for the group win.
