Exactly three months before their European Championships, the German footballers continue to look for their top form and regular formation. The team of national coach Christian Wück prevailed 4-0 (2-0) in the Nations League against Scotland. However, the Olympic thirds showed a weak first half in Dundee in front of 6,600 spectators and were unable to play in a playful manner for a long time.
Elisa Sense met for the DFB women for less than a minute. Sophie Howard then achieved an own goal (21st) in Tannadice Park before Cora Zicai (57th) and Lea Schüller (59th) added in the significantly better second half.
On Tuesday (5:45 p.m./ARD and KIKA) there will be a second leg in Wolfsburg. In the Nations League, the German selection defended its lead in group A1. But on the way to the European Championship in Switzerland, Wück and his assistants Saskia Bartusiak and Maren Meinert still have a lot of work. There the German women meet Poland in the first group game on July 4th.
Promising debut by left -back kett
After the failures of the defenders Kathrin Hendrich, Rebecca Knaak and Sara Doorsoun, the 20-year-old Munich woman Franziska Kett gave a convincing DFB debut on the left. Sophia Kleinhernen also moved into the chain of four alongside captain Giulia Gwinn and Janina Minge. Linda Dallmann from FC Bayern played in the ten position from the start. She had last convinced as a Joker and gave playful impulses again this time.

The Scottishers who did not qualify for the European Championship agreed with the national anthem to bagpipes. The German women ran up for the recently died ex -European champion Doris Fitschen – and showed a start of lightning: after a corner by Klara Bühl, the Frankfurt team resolved and chased the ball under the crossbar.
National coach visibly angry on the sidelines
The dominant play of play required by Wück initially suffered from the duel strength of the intrepid hosts. The native of Hanauer Woward then bought the ball into his own goal after a cross from Jule Brand.
Dallmann and Sjoeke Nüsken initially struggled to stage the strikers in the German midfield. The Frankfurter Senß acted more striking and also energetically intervened. In any case, the national coach roared his dissatisfaction shortly before the end of the first half – too little went forward.
Only three international matches up to the European Championship
With the Freiburg woman Cora Zicai for the disappointing Klara Bühl, Wück brought a new striker after the break. The 20-year-old then took advantage of a ball conquest from Brand and a pass from Dallmann to 3: 0. At her 49th international goal, Schüller then had free rail. The increase in performance in the second round is likely to reconcile the DFB coach.
After the duels against Scotland, his team only stays two caps in front of the European Championship: against the Netherlands on May 20 in Bremen and against Austria on June 3. The four group winners of the Nations League will play the semi -finals in October.
