Jersey Swap: Johanna Rytting Kaneryd<\/strong> <\/p>\n

The Chelsea FC<\/a> winger wreaked havoc down the right flank all night, eventually reaping the rewards of her hard work with an assist laid on a platter for teammate Lina Hurtig. Germany simply did not have an answer. <\/p>\n

Der Kaiser: Kathrin Hendrich<\/strong><\/p>\n

On a dismal night for the German defense maybe it is only fitting to hand the award to a substitute. Hendrich, who plays for the Chicago Stars in the NWSL<\/a>, came on at half-time and had more ground duels attempted (8) than both starting center-backs combined…although Germany was a woman down at that point and the game had changed.<\/p>\n

Fu\u00dfballgott: Elisa Sen\u00df?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christian W\u00fcck\u2019s midfield pivot struggled again to be major influences in the game. Sjoeke N\u00fcsken and Elisa Sen\u00df tried their share of probing passes into the final third but it wasn\u2019t Germany\u2019s day. Sen\u00df lost Lina Hurtig on the easiest of tap-ins and N\u00fcsken got a yellow card sliding in from a trailing position. N\u00fcsken took home the last two midfield awards and it doesn\u2019t really feel like she should get a group stage trifecta, so this one goes to Sen\u00df. The Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder will hopefully get her day to properly shine in the spotlight soon.<\/p>\n

Der Bomber: Klara B\u00fchll<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Bayern Munich<\/a> winger had a strong outing yet again. She has yet to face a defense that can successfully corral her and is an absolute menace down the left flank. But it must be said: she needs to get more dangerous shots on target. Hopefully she will get the chance to break out the goals soon.<\/p>\n

Meisterin of the Match: Jule Brand<\/strong><\/p>\n

Magic Jule struck again early and it looked like she was going to pop off.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, by half-time Brand was putting in a serious defensive shift on the right, intervening to help Germany have a fighting chance at making a game of it. With the goal \u2014 capping off a splendid run with a nutmeg through the legs of a defender \u2014 she was Germany\u2019s most outstanding player of the night.<\/p>\n

If there is good news for Germany it is that they have talents like hers, and the newly minted Lyon star is just 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jersey Swap: Johanna Rytting Kaneryd The Chelsea FC winger wreaked havoc down the right flank all night, eventually…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":265727,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5310],"tags":[9200,14010,6098,9198,70201,9199,2000,299,94,21003,163,1824,6100,3116,12153,2955,6101,812,6093,21741,9201,6099],"class_list":{"0":"post-265726","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-germany","8":"tag-all-womens-sports","9":"tag-awards","10":"tag-bavarian","11":"tag-bayern-munich-frauen","12":"tag-bayern-munich-match-awards","13":"tag-bayern-munich-match-observations","14":"tag-eu","15":"tag-europe","16":"tag-football","17":"tag-from","18":"tag-front-page","19":"tag-germany","20":"tag-germany-international-soccer","21":"tag-loss","22":"tag-match","23":"tag-s","24":"tag-soccer-sg","25":"tag-sweden","26":"tag-to","27":"tag-uefa-european-championship","28":"tag-womens-soccer","29":"tag-works"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114854788201257354","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265726"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265726\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265727"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
