Aachen (dpa) - The joy of the German soccer players about the successful start to the new international match year was at best subdued.
After the 2-0 (1-0) win over Belgium in Aachen, Svenja Huth, in a brilliant mood, drew a positive conclusion: “It was a good start to the international season.
Of course we know we can do a lot better.
But we can build on this performance, ”said the Wolfsburg native.
At the mini-tournament “Three Nations.
One Goal », after just two minutes after Lara Bühl's good preparatory work, Huth marked the lead and played a key role in the second goal.
Lea Schüller (55th) used Huth's flank with a direct pickup that is worth seeing.
On Wednesday (6.30 p.m. / Eurosport) the DFB team will meet European champions Netherlands in Venlo, who defeated Belgium with a 6-1 victory last Thursday.

National coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg took the performance against Belgium as a proper basis, but also named the shortcomings.
«We are not satisfied with the precision, the last pass, the simple solution.
Many flanks did not get where they should be.
We have to work on that, ”she said.
Voss-Tecklenburg had prescribed a very offensive approach to their team.
With the French legionnaires Dszenifer Maroszan and Sara Däbritz, she had placed the technically best German players in midfield, and with Huth, Bühl and Schüller, she had sent three fast attackers onto the field.
That paid off early, the first attack of the game led to the 1-0.
After that, the DFB-Elf had the game under control, but mandatory scoring opportunities were rare.
Huth (11th), defender Marina Hegering (21st) and Sydney Lohmann (44th) could still have scored the second goal.
The German game lacked precision, especially in front of and in the opposing penalty area.
The decisive pass was played too far or too hard too often.

There was little to be seen of Belgium in the attack, rather the "Red Flames" concentrated on compacting the spaces well in front of their own penalty area.
In the 25th minute, the ball was even in the German goal.
After a counterattack, Julie Biesman's goalkeeper Merle Frohms had overcome, but the offside flag went up late - a dubious decision.
At halftime, Voss-Tecklenburg, who does not want to use a field player over 90 minutes, changed.
Lena Oberdorf replaced Hegering, Linda Dallmann came in for Lohmann.
This brought a little more speed into the German game, and consequently the second goal was scored.
Huth crossed into the middle, where Schüller skillfully completed.
Then the DFB-Elf increased the pressure.
Another offensive player celebrated her international debut with Nicole Anyomi, she replaced Bühl after one hour and fitted in with beautiful wing runs and passes.
Sjoeke Nüsken also made her first appearance in the DFB jersey.
However, no more hits are received.
