Ukraine defensively positioned
After the first leg defeat coach Nataliya Zinchenko put the Ukraine on more compact: A defensive five-line behind a four-row midfield should be stable against the German attacks as long as possible. But the plan failed already shortly after kickoff. Klara Bühl dribbled from the left wing to the center and hit with a shot from about 20 meters to the 1: 0 lead for the German team (7th minute).
Similar to the first leg, the Ukraine defended initially despite the early backlog. After a cross run by Alexandra Popp came Giulia Gwinn from close range but to 2: 0 (30). A little later, Popp also put on the third goal. After a cross from the captain Lina Magull met by volley (37). Shortly before the break, the striker also managed the 4: 0 (42).
Germany remained overwhelmingly superior in the second half. Bühl get within a few minutes their hits two and three (58./61.). Substitute Leupolz headed home just before the end (87 '), Magull made the final score (90' + 3 ').
