After a 1–1 draw against Spain at the start of the tournament, national coach Martina Vos-Tecklenburg changed her starting XI to seven positions: only Feldkamp, Buhl, Brand and captain Maguel were again in the starting line-up.
A set piece keeps Canada ahead
The game started badly for the DFB Women, as Canada took the lead with the first chance: Gilles went into a corner from the right to make it 1–0 (7th). It was generally the first half with few scoring opportunities. The Voss-Tecklenburg team could have had a good chance, but were not awarded a penalty after Giles blocked Magal’s shot from his hand. Someone could point the point here.
Otherwise, Germany struggled on the offensive for a long time. However, shortly before the break, there were two good shots: Buhl’s shot was deflected by Sheridan (42′) and Feldkamp went wide (45-+2). So Canadians moved to cabins with narrow ledges.
Berger in luck – Gwyn missed out on compensation
Soon after the restart, Prince had a good chance to make it 2–0, but missed (47th). Goalkeeper Berger was lucky when his emergency brake went off without a penalty just before the edge of the penalty area (52′). During the second half, the DFB women got into the encounter better and better. Dongas’ long-range shot was too central (67′). Substitute Gwinn became more dangerous, and after a good pass from Anyomi, his low shot was saved by goalkeeper Sheridan (71′). The German women threw everything forward, but the equalizer should not be successful.
