Spain had possession, but the German defense prevented the Spaniards from getting close enough for a good shot. As time expired, Germany celebrated their victory.
“Every game was the same. We had so many games where we always stayed together. In the end, we were clutch,” said Germany’s Svenja Brunckhorst.
