ARD
: "Thanks to the early goals, we were able to focus on the Focus defensively.”
Now there is nothing more at stake against Finland in the final group game against Finland, but the game is not taken lightly: "We came here to win every game," continued Popp, who then greeted Corona- Patient Schüller judged: "The victory was also for you, Lea!
We hope that you will be with us again soon!”

88 minutes:
Two minutes left in regular time.
What's on top?
Spain tried everything, but didn't come decisively in front of Frohm's goal.
Strong defensive performance by the DFB girls today, hats off!
83 minutes:
Just under seven minutes in Brentford!
What else is going on here?
So far, the German team has not allowed a really big chance.
Hopefully it stays that way until the end.
78 minutes:
Goal!
No, not!
Waßmuth is free, dribbles around Panos and pushes in to make it supposedly 3-0 - but the Wolfsburg player was just offside when she passed the ball.
Pity!
70 minutes:
Monster save from Frohms!
Great ball to Mariona, who volleys the ball on goal, but the Wolfsburg player fishes the ball out of the corner.
Wow!
68 minutes:
Now the game has lost momentum again.
But maybe just to herald an exciting final phase?
60 minutes:
Now Frohms is way out there and saves from Mariona in a Neuer manner!
Very intense game here now!
VAR fails and overlooks a clear red card!
DFB star is simply knocked down
57 minutes: The VAR has to intervene! Germany switches quickly, Popp is through and is simply knocked over by Paredes on the way to the goal - but the referee lets it run on. Very controversial scene! The Spaniard clearly pulls Popp to the ground...
Alexandra Popp is clearly fouled - but the VAR does not intervene.

56 minutes:
Uff!
Take a deep breath for the German ladies.
After a corner, Frohms hesitates a little before running out, but Hegering can clear the header well in front of the line.
53 minutes:
As at the beginning of the first round, the DFB girls run up to the Spaniards and attack early.
Unlike in the first half, this does not lead to an early goal.
46 minutes:
Let's continue in Brentford!
Germany changed once, the ailing Magull can't continue after the break.
She is replaced by Lena Lattwein from VfL Wolfsburg.
1st half
45 minutes:
Break in Brentford.
Germany leads 2-0 against Spain!
43 minutes:
The goal came as a bit of a surprise because the Spaniards had more of the game.
But possession of the ball doesn't score goals, that's what the Germans do.
There were two goals from two chances.
That's called effectiveness!
Popp!
DFB-Girls follow up against Spain shortly before the break
37 minutes: GOOOOOOOOOOOOR! Out of nowhere! Second chance, second hit. Corner ball Germany, Popp moves outstandingly in the five and nods the ball running back - sensational goal! 2:0 for the DFB girls!
Alexandra Popp made it 2-0 for the DFB girls.

33 minutes:
The Spaniards have incredible ball security, which is still missing from the DFB team.
The Germans always want to switch quickly when they win the ball, but the passes are too imprecise, which is why the Iberians have the ball again immediately and can start their game.
25 minutes:
The DFB team is now a little better in the game and is no longer just chasing the Spaniards.
Gwinn suddenly appears on the left of the penalty area and brings the ball dangerously in front of the goal.
It was half shot, half cross - and in the end nothing right.
Goal kick.
18 minutes:
Spain is getting stronger - and Germany is lucky!
After a fine tiki-taka, Mariona shoots the shot to the right in the penalty area, but the flick misses the DFB box by a millimeter!
Frohms wouldn't have had a chance.
11 minutes:
A lot of stupid for Germany!
The Spaniards with a great attack, Lucia Garcia is released wonderfully with an interface pass and appears in front of Frohms.
But that makes the angle nice and sharp and so Lucia Garcia fails with her finish on the outside netting.
8 minutes:
The early goal naturally gives the DFB team a lot of self-confidence.
However, you still have to be careful, because the Spaniards were already behind after a few seconds in the opening game.
Early goal for Germany: Bühl uses crazy keeper mistake from Spain
3rd minute: GOOOOOOOOOOOR! Germany takes an early lead here because Spain slips up! Keeper Panos plays the ball into Bühl's foot in the penalty area, which Paredes misses and finishes ice-cold with the left. Perfect start!

What is the plan with Popp?
“She can help us with her back to goal and with her header power,” reveals national coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg before the game on

She is the captain of this team.”

Update from July 12, 6:09 p.m .:
The German delegation at the 2022 women’s European Championship has further tightened the corona measures in the team quarters after the positive test by top scorer Lea Schüller.
"We can't lock everything in the hotel off as we would like," said Joti Chatzialexiou, head of the national teams at the DFB, in an interview on
bild.de
on Tuesday .
DFB employees would no longer sit four in a hotel office, but at most two.
In addition, all meals are now taken outside.
According to the circumstances, Schüller is doing very well: "She actually only has a slight sore throat," said Chatzialexiou.
She has been isolated from the rest of the team since Monday.
According to the UEFA protocol, the 24-year-old is missing for five days.
"After that, we hope that she will test negative again and that we can then gradually incorporate her into training," said Chatzialexiou.
The DFB women meet Finland in the last group game on Friday in Milton Keynes.
Nasty criticism from national coach: UEFA reacts to Voss-Tecklenburg statements
First report from July 12, 4:07 p.m.:
Munich / Brentford – In the second group game of the women’s European Championship 2022, the DFB women are against Spain.
The brilliant 4-0 win over Denmark last Friday should give Martina Voss-Tecklenburg's team self-confidence, but on Monday a topic came to the fore that they really didn't want to carry around anymore: Corona!
Before the group hit against Spain, the German footballers caught up with the tiresome Corona issue.
The national coach is particularly annoyed that a proposal by the DFB to UEFA was unsuccessful long before the tournament.
The national coach has criticized UEFA’s handling of players who tested positive for the corona virus at the European Football Championship.
The 54-year-old is particularly upset that subsequent nominations are not possible in such cases.
“I really want to use the moment now to put my finger in the wound.
We asked UEFA beforehand to consider taking 26 players with us.
That has not been guaranteed, although the men can do it at the World Cup," said Voss-Tecklenburg on Monday evening.
Corona drama!

The DFB women will have to do without Lea Schüller in the second group game against title candidate Spain on Tuesday (9 p.m.) at the Brentford Community Stadium.
The goalscorer from FC Bayern Munich had tested positive for the virus and was isolated from the team.

In view of the pandemic situation, the DFB had already started an approach to UEFA last winter to obtain approval for a squad of 26 instead of 23 at the European Championship - without success.
With consequences now for the DFB team.
"We also analyzed the performance of the players at the men's European Championship last year.
Despite the higher number of teams and an extra round of matches, only two teams fielded more than 23 players," said the UEFA spokesman.
UEFA regulations do not allow late nominations after the first game during the tournament.
Exceptions are goalkeepers.
"That doesn't correspond to my personal concept of fair play," said Voss-Tecklenburg.
"That contradicts me as an athlete and I ask UEFA to reconsider this for future tournaments." There are also other teams with isolated corona cases at the European Championship.
