With a fortunate success in the prestige of the Netherlands, German footballers have gained momentum for their World Cup title quest. In the neighborhood duel, the new vice-champions of Europe went 1-0 (0-0) despite some wobbles and took their first win of the year three and a half months before the finals in Australia and New Zealand.

However: before Sidney Le Mans (53) of Bayern Munich scored a goal against the attacking vice-champions of the world, Merle Froms and Anne-Kathrin Berger, who came on in the first half, had to do hard work in the DFB goal. And on Tuesday (6:00 PM / ARD) the following criterion began: in Nuremberg, the German national team meets Brazil, in the World Cup, potential opponents in the round of 16.

Halfway through the World Cup, Martina Voss-Tecklenburg did without some regulars in her first eleven, including captain Alexandra Pope. Instead, Sara Debritz led the DFB onto the field. Compared to the 0-0 draw against Sweden at the start of the year, the national coach has already changed her squad to six positions.

However, on short notice Svenja Huth had to start on the right wing for Nicole Anomie, who was suffering from a foot injury. In their new World Cup green jersey, the DFB side got off to a somewhat tense start, the high pressure of the Orangemen making an impact in front of 10,789 fans, who made an impressive backdrop.

So it took a quarter of an hour for the first German objective to approach. The hostesses seemed more experienced, and former Bundesliga coach of the Wolfsburg men, Anders Junker, relied on the duo of Dominik Jansen and Gil Rohr, among others.

After about half an hour, things went quickly. First, the former Munich player Lenneth Berenstein failed in front of goalkeeper Merle Froms, in a direct counterattack Tapia Wasmuth (30) headed over the goal. Shortly before the break, the powerful Frohms cleared again with a foot defense against Berenstein (44).

After the break, Chelsea keeper Berger replaced Froms from Wolfsburg – and she also had to make saves against Berensten and Daniel van de Donk (46) in desperate need. But then the standard situation brought the German command.

Le Mans scored at the second post after a substitute’s corner kick and Clara Ball clear. It was the fourth goal in the 20th cap for the 22-year-old midfielder. In the final stretch, Berger (86) made another strong save.

Both teams at Fortuna Stadium wore “BNG” logos on the sleeves of their shirts. Neighboring countries drew attention to their joint request for the World Cup, and the federations want to host the 2027 Women’s World Cup with Belgium.
