"In years to come, Germany fans will talk about this game against Spain in Kaiserslautern. Not because of how they won it or how impressive Spain were, but because of how truly incredible it was they didn't win. Whether it was the woodwork, Spanish goalkeeper Cata Coll, bad luck or their own lack of composure in front of goal, Germany somehow failed to convert any of their 15 shots into goals."
""We are frustrated with this 0-0 draw. I would almost say it's a bit unlucky because we created so many chances and we hit the woodwork three or four times so we are a bit disappointed that we couldn't win today," Rebecca Knaak said afterwards. Germany had 15 shots to Spain's three and other than one 15-minute spell in the second half during which Spain hit the corner of the bar, the visitors were a shadow of their usual selves."
Germany dominated possession and created 15 shots while Spain managed only three. Germany hit the woodwork multiple times and faced Spanish goalkeeper Cata Coll, but converted none of their chances. Christian Wuck's side displayed intense, pinning Spain inside their own half and forcing uncharacteristic errors early on. Germany produced four major chances in a remarkable six-minute first-half spell yet failed to score. Bayern Munich's Klara Buhl hit the post in the second half as Germany remained unable to find a way past Spain. Rebecca Knaak described the result as frustrating and a bit unlucky given the number of chances created.
