"We had a lot of chances today, and one of them could have gone in earlier,"
"I knew I probably only had one more chance before I got substituted, so I just went for it."
"We did a lot of things which really excited the fans, but the biggest problem was efficiency in front of goal. The girls implemented the match-plan brilliantly, so it was frustrating that we couldn't reward ourselves earlier. The victory was deserved, but it was far too close."
Germany defeated France 1-0 in the UEFA Women’s Nations League semi-final first leg in Dusseldorf. Klara Buhl scored the only goal late after cutting in from the left and firing low past goalkeeper Pauline Peyraud-Magnin. Germany created numerous chances but lacked finishing efficiency. The win gives Germany a narrow advantage ahead of the second leg in Caen in Normandy. Ann-Katrin Berger missed the match through a knee injury and was replaced by Stina Johannes. Both Germany and France topped their respective groups in League A during the campaign. The other semi-final pairs Spain with Sweden.
