Second tournament victory: three times Var: DFB women with “mentality victory” against Denmark

The new DFB captain Janina Minge fell into her arms teammate Elisa Sense, national coach Christian Wück hearted his players. The German footballers at the European Championship also go to the quarter -finals without captain Giulia Gwinn. In the 2: 1 (0: 1) against Denmark in Basel, Sjoeke Nüsken made a deficit in the second group game with their goals.

“It was a strong team performance,” said Torganist Schüller in the ARD. In doing so, she and her teammates had to fight for victory and cope with two important decisions of the video referee against herself before the break. “You just can’t be put off by something like that,” said Schüller.

National coach praises the attitude of his players

In front of 34,165 spectators in the sold-out St. Jakob-Park, Amalie Vangsgaard (26th minute) brought the Danish lead. “There were two neck strokes, actually three neck strokes,” said Coach Wück. “That does something with a team.” However, he highly appeals to his team how it came back. “It was a mentality victory. That was exactly what a German team always awarded.”

Around 17,000 German fans – as many than ever at an away game of German women – cheered on their favorites without stop. Nüsken’s hit from the point (66.) and Schüllers 54th Candatory Gate (66.) led to the deserved second tournament success.

After the knee injury and the tournament from Gwinn, the Wolfsburg native Ming, as the captain, led the national team on the lawn. For Gwinn, as expected, the 21 -year -old Carlotta Wamser (previously Eintracht Frankfurt/in the future Bayer Leverkusen) ran as a right -back.

Bracelets and jersey for the missing gwinn

The German women held gwinn’s jersey in the cameras during the team photo and everyone also wore a white bracelet with the inscription “GG7”. In the ranks, fans held up spans as: “We together for Giuli – get well soon.” Wück reported that Gwinn sent the team a special message before the game and promised that she was now the greatest fan of the DFB selection.

The 26-year-old Bayern star is currently still to be treated in Munich. However, Gwinn wants to be there for the last preliminary round against Sweden on Saturday (9:00 p.m./ZDF and DAZN) in Zurich as moral support.

Var demoralizes DFB women in two scenes

Four days after the initially tedious 2-0 opening victory against Poland, the DFB women initially started powerfully. Sense cleared a lot in midfield, and Vangsgaard also missed a bloody nose. The first goal celebrated quickly again: the video evidence showed that Nüsken was offside when the shot of the strong Klara Bühl (18th) was offside.

Not Denmark’s feared top star Pernille Harder from FC Bayern, but Vangsgaard then caught the German team ice cold: Janni Thomsen danced the German defense, then Vangsgaard concluded very and difficult for goalkeeper Ann -Katrin Berger.

The deficit made the Wück team a bit agile. A handball by Frederikke Thögersen then seemed to help. After minutes of Var-Check, referee Catarina Campos (Portugal) decided that the campaign was outside the penalty area. Nüsken was already ready to represent the penalty specialist Gwinn.

Bühl’s attempts at firing were also constantly blocked. So the DFB women went into the cabin with a deficit against the 2017 European Championship second, which had lost their first preliminary round game against Sweden.

The next video evidence was then in favor of the Wück team: Katrine Veje had brought Linda Dallmann down. This time Nüsken was allowed to run at the penalty point and converted safely. As against Poland, the busy Jule Brand then shone with an assist – the shelter, which was rather inconspicuous until then, made it 2-1.
