After the 0-0 draw in the first leg of the Nations League final, Germany coach Christian Wück was frustrated that his players couldn’t score despite having the best chances. In today’s return leg, however, Wück is probably quite happy with the missed chances so far.
This time, it’s the Spanish players who are squandering the best opportunities. Shot after shot is flying towards Ann-Kathrin Berger’s goal.
The goalkeeper has already been forced into several brilliant saves, and twice she had to watch the ball go past her in the nick of time.
As early as the fifth minute, an attempt by Esther whizzed just a few centimeters past Berger’s left post. After 38 minutes, a completely unmarked Pina badly missed a volley attempt from close range.
But right before the halftime whistle, the Germans couldn’t do any better. Nicole Anyomi missed a good chance to take the lead in the penalty area. The lack of effectiveness on both sides means: It remains really exciting!
