GK: Pauline Peyraud-Magnin - 6/10 - Produced a good save to keep out a Popp free kick in the first half. Couldn't have done a great deal about either Germany goal.RB: Eve Périsset - 5/10 - Lost the run of Popp in the build up to Germany's opener, allowing the forward to get goal side and crash home.CB: Wendie Renard - 6/10 - Wasn't close enough to Huth in the build up to the Germany opener, giving the German forward far too much space to deliver. Almost gave France the lead with a back post header from a corner. Such a threat from set pieces, eased Germany forwards off the ball time after time with her terrific strength.CB: Griedge Mbock Bathy - 6/10 - Produced a couple of heroic blocks in the second half as Germany came knocking, but out jumped by Popp for Germany's second.LB: Sakina Karchaoui - 6/10 - Combined well with Cascarino and Bacha, but unable to get forward as frequently as in previous games. Both Germany goals came down the France left.CM: Charlotte Bilbault - 5/10 - Largely overwhelmed by the dynamic Germany midfield and unable to have a huge influence on proceedings.CM: Sandie Toletti - 5/10 - France struggled with Germany's constant harrying and pressuring in midfield.CM: Grace Geyoro - 6/10 - Linked play well and travelled from box to box with her endless energy, but lost the battle with the terrific Oberdorf.RW: Kadidiatou Diani - 8/10 - Helped to pull France level on the stroke of half time with a scorching drive from range. Moved to the central striker role at half time and caused chaos with her pace and quick feet.ST: Melvine Malard - 4/10 - Left to feed off scraps, before being replaced at half time.LW: Delphine Cascarino - 6/10 - Bursting with energy and always eager to get on the ball, but limited in her ability to have any lasting attacking impact on the game by the industrious Gwinn.
