Fighting spirit and unshakable nerves
In an incredible show of strength, the German team secured their place in the quarter-finals with a nerve-wracking 2-1 win over Denmark in the second European Championship group game. This came after a disastrous start to the game, with Denmark taking the lead in the 26th minute through Amalie Vangsgaard. But the DFB women remained unimpressed! With a dramatic improvement after half-time, Sjoeke Nüsken equalized with a penalty and Lea Schüller turned the game around with a sensational goal in the 66th minute! [FLW24].
This astonishing turn in the game was accompanied by real drama on the pitch: two controversial VAR decisions had brought the players to the brink of madness! A disallowed goal from Klara Bühl and a possible penalty that was converted into a free kick caused heated discussions in the stands. But the DFB women's strength of nerve was simply extraordinary as they bravely persevered and put on a dominating performance that turned the audience into a garden of predators!
The science behind shooting
But how do you explain the German women's sudden success in penalty kicks? Scientific studies show that penalty shootouts are not just a lottery.
