After a balanced opening phase, the Germans took more and more control in the first half and were rewarded with a beautiful goal from their captain.
Alexandra Popp volleyed the ball into the French goal to make it 1-0 (40th minute).
But the equalizer came just before the break.
A long-range shot by Kadidiatou Diani bounced off the back of German goalkeeper Merle Frohms (45+1).
Both teams had good chances in the second half on Wednesday evening in Milton Keynes.
Frohms made excellent saves from falling behind several times.
Then Svenja Huth crossed from the right into the French penalty area and found Alexandra Popp, who came running and headed the ball into the goal.
At the end there was great jubilation.
Germany versus England at Wembley – the big final is a dream final.
