Germany emerged victorious over France in the quarter-final match of the European Championship tournament
Germany Advance to Women's European Championship Semi-Finals in Penalty Shootout Thriller
In a tense and dramatic encounter, Germany secured their spot in the semi-finals of the Women's European Championship, edging past France in a nail-biting penalty shootout.
The match began with a red card for Germany's defender Hendrich, who received a straight red for pulling her opponent's ponytail during a free kick in the 13th minute. This setback did not deter the German team, who managed to equalize in the 25th minute through Nuessen's header from a corner by Buhl.
The first half ended with the score at 1:1, with France failing to create clear chances despite their numerical advantage. The second half was no less exciting, with both teams creating opportunities but failing to find the back of the net.
In the 69th minute, Germany was awarded a penalty, but Nuessen's shot was saved by Peyraud-Magnin. France then took the lead in the 74th minute, as Geyoro converted a penalty awarded by the referee. However, Germany refused to give up and equalized once more, as substitute Dallmann scored for the Germans.
The game remained scoreless in the final stages of regular time, sending it into extra time. The additional period was just as thrilling, with Daebritz hitting the crossbar for Germany, and Baltimore equalizing for France. The game remained level, and it was time for the decisive penalty shootout.
In the penalty shootout, Minge, Knaak, and Malard all scored for Germany, while Berger saved Majri's shot. Berger also scored herself in the shootout, with Germany advancing to the semi-finals.
Despite the heroics of Berger, the goalkeeper of the German women's national football team who contributed the decisive save in the penalty shootout against France, her name is not explicitly mentioned in the provided search results.
Germany's coach, Wueck, will be pleased with his team's resilience and determination, as they look to continue their European Championship campaign in the semi-finals. France's coach, Bonadei, will be disappointed with his team's inability to hold on to their lead, but they can take pride in a valiant effort against one of the tournament favourites.
