And Dzsenifer Marozsan (87th) with a goal of Linda Sembrant with 4: 1. So the German team remains in ninth game in series at World and European Championships and Olympic Games against the Scandinavians unbeaten. “We are overjoyed that we played the heavy chunks Sweden out of the tournament. We were the better team and are earned in the quarterfinals. This was an important game, perhaps a key game, “said Germany coach Silvia Neid.

The first knockout game became a heavy paper from her examination for the Germans. The increase of the tournament to 24 teams brought a mode to which favored the unusually early duel between two rivals that have been counted among the most promising candidates for the title. Germany, however, acted here with much greater conviction and certainty, while Sweden adopted a more despondent, uncertain performance of the tournament. The sovereign victory in the first real test could now bring the self-confidence, which requires the German selection for the rest of the tournament.
“We have earned the victory hard. We walked a lot and have rewarded us, “said striker Anja Mittag, who was again named the player of the match.
In the classics of Ottawa put Germany coach Silvia Neid primarily on experience: So sitting playmaker Dzsenifer Marozsan beginning surprising on the bench and was only a substitute at the break. The decision paid off: the “old” bought the opponents from the kick-off the cutting off. “We have 90 minutes outstanding work against the ball despite 38 degree heat on the field,” said Germany coach Silvia Neid. Captain Nadine Angerer warned, however, against arrogance. “We have very, very well played. That was the best thing we’ve shown, but the chances, you could criticize, “Angerer said. “But we have to stay on the ground.”
Even after 16 seconds Alex Popp should have received the lead, but they screwed up detached from 10 meters with her strong left foot.
It took despite numerous other opportunities for Laudehr, Popp and Sasic until 24 minutes before the until a few weeks playing for the Swedish first division club FC Rosengård Anja Mittag to 1: 0.. The striker scored with a low shot placed her sixth goal in the tournament. “I simply present the self-confidence to make those goals,” said Lunch. Twelve minutes later, she was taken from her antagonist Amanda Ilestedt the penalty area. Although Anja Mittag, who was indeed affected, but had no chance on the ball clearly was surprised by the decision, gave the North Korean Ri Hyang Ok referee penalty. The penalty transformed Celia Sasic to 2: 0th “We were the very first minute and have a presence Sweden showed that we want to move forward today,” said Sasic. So we now have to work on. “
The delicate efforts of the fresh pair of legs among Swedish women tied the Germans as a result of an aggressive and clever ability to press. So the unsettled Swedes had to build again on the outside where they quickly lost the balls to the attentive Germans in distress their game. Celia Sasic increased with her second goal at 3: 0, as they for a shot against the post from Simone Laudehr the rebound with a header in the net recessed (78). Sasic unlocked with her fifth tournament Hits leader Anja Mittag.
Sweden came next after all, still the consolation goal. Linda Sembrant headed from a corner of Therese Berglund one (82). However dzsenifer marozsán put the old distance immediately restored. “It was very hard today. The Germans were simply better, “said playmaker Caroline Seeger.
So the women’s football world was perhaps the sad end of the era of the Swedish National Team Pia Sundhage. Having emerged even before the World Cup criticism of the trainer because of allegedly false tactical alignment of their team, Sundhage should perhaps voluntarily take a year before the expiry of her contract her hat, especially as the Swedish chances of Olympic participation next year in Rio de Janeiro to a minimum have dropped. After the game they wanted but not say anything about their condition. “I’m still in the emotional defeat. I want to say anything that I regret later. It will be necessary, if I continue to use the Swedish women’s football, “Sundhage said.
Germany, meanwhile, has one of the three European quota places places safe if not already shedding in the remaining first knockout round encounters three other European teams, which is quite possible in the forthcoming meetings.
