In a thrilling group match at St. Jakob-Park, the DFB women's team (Germany) overcame a shaky start to secure a 2-1 comeback victory over Denmark, in front of a record crowd of 34,165 spectators.
### Performance Analysis:
The opening half was a challenging one for Germany, who struggled with poor decision-making, rushed clearances, skewed passing, and bad spacing. Denmark capitalised on these errors, taking the lead midway through the first half through Amalie Vangsgaard.
The match featured several VAR interventions that affected Germany notably. A goal was disallowed for offside, an initial penalty awarded was overturned, and eventually, a penalty was confirmed after a foul on Linda Dallmann, although it was considered soft by some observers.
After halftime, Germany showed resilience and composure. Sjoeke Nüsken scored the equaliser by converting the VAR-awarded penalty 10 minutes after the break. Lea Schüller then scored twice from free positions, taking advantage of Denmark’s defensive lapses, including an incident where Emma Snerle was dazed after a collision, which Schüller exploited to net a decisive goal.
Germany’s attack improved markedly after the break, with better decision-making and execution leading to the two late goals that overturned the deficit. The team also managed to contain Denmark’s offense for the remainder of the match, aided by strong goalkeeping from Ann-Katrin Berger and effective defensive organization in the second half.
Playing in front of a record crowd seemed to inspire the Germans, who showed the mental strength to recover and dominate after a difficult start.
### Summary:
Germany’s performance was marked by an unsteady start and some luck with VAR decisions, but their composure, tactical adjustments, and clinical finishing in the second half secured a 2-1 comeback victory. The win places them close to the quarterfinals and highlights their traditional strength, with only one group stage loss in recent European Championships history.
Key players in the match included Janina Minge, who delivered a confident performance as defensive leader in her 23rd international appearance, and Lea Schüller, who scored the crucial 2-1 goal and now has 54 goals in 77 international appearances. Sjoeke Nüsken also made an impact, scoring a penalty in her debut as vice-captain. However, Rebecca Knaak struggled with her speed and was more of a liability in her current form.
The win, secured by Kathrin Hendrich until the final whistle, places Germany in a strong position heading into their next match. Klara Bühl, Carlotta Wamser, Jule Brand, and Cora Zicai also made significant contributions to the team's performance.
