Wasteful finishing again: Germany women keep it nail-biting | OneFootball

After the 0-0 draw in the first leg of the Nations League final, Germany coach Christian Wück was frustrated because the German players couldn’t score despite having the best chances. In today’s return leg, however, Wück is probably quite happy about the missed opportunities so far.

This time, it’s the Spanish players who are squandering the best chances. Shot after shot is flying towards Ann-Kathrin Berger’s goal.

The goalkeeper has already been forced into several brilliant saves, and twice she had to watch the ball go past in the nick of time.

As early as the fifth minute, an attempt by Esther whizzed just a few centimeters past Berger’s left post. After 38 minutes, Mariona, completely unmarked, badly missed a volley attempt from close range.

But just before the halftime whistle, the Germans couldn’t do any better. Nicole Anyomi squandered a good chance to take the lead in the penalty area. That was to prove costly after the break: Pina put the Spanish ahead (61’).
