Women’s European Championships, Germany beat Spain 2-0. He is first in group B.

Two groups of the women’s European Championship already have their winner. After England, overflowing with an 8-0 win against Norway, Germany is also sure to play the quarter-finals from top seed. The Germans, in the direct match of Group B, beat Spain 2-0 who without Alexia Putellas seem to have lost not only the quality of the golden ball but also certainties. Germany also had an important absence, that of Lea Schuller, stopped by the covid which is becoming a problem in several retreats: out, for the same reason, in addition to the blue Valentina Cernoia, also Wubben-Moy (England) and, news of the last few hours, also another star like the Dutch Vivianne Miedema, who joins her compatriot Groenen. To help Germany, however, was the Spanish goalkeeper Sandra Panos, who in the 3 ‘building (badly) from below gave the ball to Buhl: the Bayern Munich player jumped Irene Paredes and did not forgive her left foot. Lucia Garcia had the chance to equalize but, after passing Frohms too, she only found the outside of the net.

Second half

—

In the second half, after a very narrow right-foot from Mariona, Popp scored Germany’s second goal (and his second at the European Championship) with a header from Rauch’s corner. Mariona again, in the 71st minute, could have put Spain back in the game, but the right volley found the great intervention of Frohms, who after the European Championship will return to Wolfsburg where he will take the place of Schult, headed for the United States.

Denmark-Finland 1-0

—

Spain, on Saturday, will have to play for second place (and the chance to challenge England) against Denmark: after the 0-4 suffered in their debut by Germany, the Danes defeated Finland 1-0, arithmetically out like the Northern Ireland in Group A. The game was decided by a second-half goal from Denmark star Pernille Harder, who was forced out in the final due to injury. However, Finland-Germany will be irrelevant. Tomorrow it’s Group C: at 18 Sweden-Switzerland, at 21 Holland-Portugal, with all four teams to one point.
