- We are here to make Finland proud again, said Finland's national team captain Anna Signeul before the match.

If they succeeded?

It took at least 40 minutes before Germany broke Finland's goal zero.

Right-back Giulia Gwinn hit a post that reached left-back Sophia Kleinherne's forehead, and 1-0 was a fact.

Pop historical

Germany's second goal was similar to the first, but included other main characters.

Substitute Kathrin Hendrich hit the ball from the right wing and Alexandra Popp was able to nod in her third goal of the tournament.

The 31-year-old thus became the second player in history to score in all group matches in a European Championship.

The first was Beth Mead, who completed the feat during England's match against Northern Ireland yesterday.

First national team goal

Before the match was over, he Frankfurt player Nicole Anyomi also make his first national team goal after a fine finish.

Germany wins Group B and meets Austria in the quarterfinals on Thursday 21.00.
