Women’s World Cup – Germany v Spain

Today’s game is from Group B, where Germany and Spain will face each other. Both teams have started their tournament with a win. Spain won their opener against South Africa, while Germany beat China.

Spain had difficulties in their 3-1 win over South Africa. South Africa went into the lead with goal by Thembi Kgatlana in the 25th minute. Spain got their engine starting 20 minutes before final whistle. First Athletico Madrid’s midfielder Jenifer Hermoso scored a penalty to equalize. 13 minutes later Hermoso scored another penalty and took Spain into lead. Lucia Garcia nailed the game for Spain by scoring 3-1 goal in the 89th minute. Spain controlled the game and had 71% ball possession. Spain had 25 scoring chances against South Africa’s 4.

Germany started their journey in the tournament by winning China 1-0. 19-year-old Freiburg striker Giulia Gwinn found the net in the 66th minute. Germany was dominating the field and they had 62% ball possession. Germany had 18 scoring chances against China’s 4. On the second half, Germany had 10 chances against China’s 1.

Germany is one of the biggest nations in Women’s football. Germany is 8 time European Champion and two time World Cup champion. Germany won six European titles in a row and their streak ended in the previous European Championship torunament. Spain has been in the World Cup once before, but they didn’t qualify from the group stage. Spain has been in European Championships three times and their best result is semifinal from 1997.

Germany has a team full of players playing in the biggest clubs of Europe, like PSG, Bayern Munchen and Lyon. Spain also has few players playing abroad, mainly in France, but pretty much half of their team comes from Barcelona. Germany has lots of experience from big tournaments and players have experiance from tough games. Their material is also better. As Spain was also struggling to beat South Africa in the first game I believe that these things will carry Germany to the victory tonight.
