Germany 1v1 in the final against England

MERLE FROHMS: Undecided

He exuded confidence with aerial balls throughout the game and was powerless in England’s first goal but lacked determination in the second, when he missed a loose ball in the six-yard box.

MARINA HEGERING: Inopportune

He played a perfect game in all respects, with and without the ball, with the only big but and unlucky that his only mistake came in England’s first goal, where he missed the mark from Toone and the United player who won on his back.

KATHRIN HENDRICH: Candida

He couldn’t force himself to clear the loose ball for England’s second decisive goal. His only blur in an impeccable defensive performance was in the air, crossing and coverage. Inaccurate with the ball, he started the equalizing play with a nice move.

GIULIA GWINN: Worker.

He began to suffer from attacks on the left wing by Hemp and Kirby but gained strength as the minutes ticked by. It also creates a presence in attack, but doesn’t end up giving the game fluidity.

FELICITAS RAUCH: Loose.

The game was so complete but his way of acting in England’s title goal got him suspended. Neither Frohms nor Hegering were strong enough then but it was he who failed first by not clearing the loose ball which Kelly finished with.

LENA OBERDORF: Consistent.

Right on the ball, he gave Germany balance by keeping the team in touch and hardly ever getting out of position. He completely nullified Kirby, who couldn’t get behind him and therefore had to drop to the wings to get into the game, which the Germans were definitely looking for.

LINA MAGULL: Scorer.

After a first half in which he stood out more for his work in prevention than creation, in the second, as a result of England’s first goal, he advanced his position to have more presence in the area. He tied a shot on the first touch and before he had a stick.

SARA DABRITZ: Grey.

Right without the ball, he never finished giving continuity to the game, combining good passes with failures in other deliveries. This is one of the second changes.

SVENJA HUTH: Stubborn.

The captain assisted Gwinn very well so that Hemp could never enjoy 1v1 situations and was vertical on the right wing. Although more confused in the end due to exhaustion, he tried to pull his companions.

JULE BRAND: Nothing.

Following behind to help Rauch, he did not have much presence in attack and went to the bench in the second half. It is true that Germany did not play much on their left wing in the first half, but also that the Hoffenheim player lacked more overflow.

LEA SCHÜLLER: Hyperactive.

The situation changed a few minutes from the final, when he found out it was his turn to replace the injured Popp. He was omnipresent in the first half, dropping to receive, dropping to the wing and playing on his back and in the second, perhaps at the request of Voss-Tecklenburg, he looked for more space. The bench left after missing a clear chance and, somewhat changed from the rest of the fight, he saw a yellow card.

TABEA WASSMUTH: Standing.

He gave Germany verticality from his exit in the second half, going into space and facing. His was the pass that gave Magull the goal.

SYDNEY LOHMANN: Smart.

He was one of the refreshment players in the second half and contributed standard in midfield with a key role in tying the goal, receiving Hendrich’s long pass, driving and waiting for the right moment to find Wassmuth inside the area, that he alone should help Magul.

NICOLE ANYOMI: Willingly.

He entered the second half and was located on the right wing. He contributed a lot of defensive work but lacked clarity on the ball.

LINDA DALLMANN: Inconsequential.

He came on in extra time for a tired Hendrich and acted with energy, perhaps missing the second goal as he was one of the players involved in the first contested ball from the corner which led to the loose ball being finished by Kelly.

LENA LATTWEIN: Testimonial.

Voss-Tecklenburg called for a reaction from Germany by bringing on the Wolfsburg midfielder after England’s goal but it had nothing to do with the final.
