celia okoyino surprisingly started on the left, highlighting her versatility.
norway started with a 4-5-1, with cecilie pedersen the young forward alone upfront. trine roenning played in centre mid.
0-0 at half time. norway matched germany physically for 35 minutes or so, but didnt have any idea going forward. they lacked creativity in midfield. the set pieces, normally their strongest weapon, were disappointing.
germany started carving out chances in the last 10 minutes, but hjelmseth was excellent to keep the score level.
bajramaj, popp and behringer came on for the second half, joining okoyino. these changes gave germany a more direct approach, with behringer loving to shoot from range and bajramaj..well we know all about her dribbling.
norway showed more in attack in the second half, leni laursen kaurin and lene mykjaland adding drive.
german pressure finally paid off in the 78th minute, laudehr arriving at the far post to head home a behringer corner.
a horrendous mistake from the subbed-in centreback Vikestad gave popp a goal on the plate.
then behringer's cross was met by popp for the third goal.
3 goals in 4 minutes.
norway's problem in the second half was that the central midfield went missing. they pressed up together with the attackers, leaving space in midfield because they couldnt or didnt track back.
the good news for them is that the last 15 minutes can't be taken seriously, because they substituted in their second choice keeper and the 2 last minute call-ups. they were really just letting everyone get a run-out. i think they made 8 substitutions. it was definitely more than 6. and by then, their game plan has lost all coherence, especially when you take off your key players roenning, giske and hjelmseth.
in the end, it was business as usual for germany, it seems.
wow moment: came from a norwegian player, trine roenning, who met a german high ball with her left heel, like a scorpion kick, but with right foot on the ground
