Germany against Spain: The semi-final duel of the football heroines!
The European Women's Football Championship is back in focus, and things will be exciting with the semi-final between Germany and the reigning world champions Spain. Yesterday Germany won against France in the quarter-finals and thus qualified for the next rounds. But this victory didn't come easy BR24 reported. In a hard-fought game, the DFB team had to play outnumbered early in the first half with a red card for Kathrin Hendrich.
Despite the adverse circumstances, Germany not only fought their way back into the game and equalized, but also made it to penalties. There Ann-Katrin Berger came into the spotlight, saving two penalties and converting one herself. This impressive performance made her the hero of the game. The girls from Germany have impressively underlined their title ambitions and are now undefeated in the tournament.
A duel of the titans
On Wednesday, July 23, 2025, at 9 p.m., Germany will face Spain at the Letzigrund stadium in Zurich, as well sportschau.de holds on. Germany goes into this encounter as favorites, having achieved five wins in eight competitive games against Spain. The last meeting at the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024 ended with a narrow 1-0 win for Germany.
But the Spanish women should not be underestimated either. In the quarter-finals they worked up a sweat and only decided the game against Switzerland in the final minutes. Statistically speaking, Spain likes to score goals in the tournament - an average of four per game - but has still shown one or two weaknesses defensively. That could be crucial for Wednesday's game.
