+++ Conclusion: After the well-deserved home win once morest the Danes, Horst Hrubesch’s team now has it in their own hands to qualify for the Olympic semi-finals in February. Thanks to the success, Germany moved past Denmark and is now in first place in Group C of the Nations League. The game was initially open, but the DFB team showed an inimitable will to win and Alexandra Popp was there following 14 minutes. In an uncertain phase, Marina Hegering scored the important second goal. The visitors then failed several times due to returnee Merle Frohms in the German box.
In the second half the game was all regarding the Danish goal, but Germany failed to make the decision for a long time. In stoppage time, Klara Bühl scored the redeeming goal to make it 3-0.

Germany overruns Denmark and has participation in the Olympics in its own hands
90th minute +6: THE GAME IS OVER! Germany deservedly beat Denmark 3-0 and are now leaders in Nations League Group C.
90th minute +3: GOOOORRR FOR GERMANY! Bühl puts the lid on it and scores to make it 3-0! After winning the ball strongly, Nüsken has too much space in front of the penalty area and uses Bühl irresistibly on the left. Popp initially makes a move to get to the ball as well, but leaves it to the wing player. She shoots ice-cold into the far corner to make it 3-0. The decision!

90. Minute: Five minutes of added time are indicated.
87. Minute: Change in the DFB team: Paulina Krumbiegel replaces Giulia Gwinn on the right side of defense.
Denmark is lucky: Germany misses the preliminary decision
86. Minute: Huge opportunity for Lohmann! After a Danish bad pass, Popp puts the Bayern player on the right in the penalty area. But it takes far too long for her shot to be blocked from a very good position. There was a lot more in it!
84. Minute: Vangsgaard with a cross, but Frohms can pick up the flat pass without any problems. Nothing will burn!
81. Minute: Germany organizes the game and doesn’t let the Danes get a chance at all. The guests lack offensive actions. The DFB team runs almost everything. Elisa Senß is exemplary for tonight, acting as if she had been part of the national team for several years.
76th minute: Almost 3-0! After a strong pass from Anyomi, Nüsken crosses half-right to the far post. Popp can’t get to it, but it irritates Christensen, who just looks following the ball. It gets longer and longer and hits the inside post! The goalkeeper can then pick him up, lucky for Denmark!
71. Minute: Denmark also changes, twice: Holmgaard comes for Hasbo, Möller for Obaze.
70. Minute: Nicole Anyomi comes in for Svenja Huth, who is celebrated by the audience for a strong performance.
67. Minute: After a first shot opportunity a few moments earlier, Senß scores once more. After Hegering wins the ball and takes a short dribble, she shoots with a touch-down shot on the right. But Christensen picks up the ball without any problems.

63. Minute: That was close! During a counterattack, Vangsgaard places Thögersen on the right. It fires from around 20 meters from an acute angle. Frohms holds the ball but drops it. Nadim, who has just been substituted, is lurking there, but the German goalkeeper grabs hold of her and then has the ball safely.
62. Minute: A double substitution should bring momentum into the Danish game. Veje and Gejl leave the pitch, and Nadim and Gevitz come into play.
61. Minute: Next strong pressing action by the DFB team. Popp runs energetically at Christensen, forcing the goalkeeper to make a mistake. Throw-in for Denmark.
57. Minute: Bühl and Huth hit one hook following another and play their opponents dizzyingly. Germany is currently closer to the third goal than Denmark is to the next goal.
53. Minute: The German team is now in a phase of urgency once more. She establishes herself in the opponent’s half, but doesn’t yet have any compelling chances to score.
51. Minute: Good opportunity for Germany! After winning the ball, Lohmann turns it up centrally and then takes a shot from around 25 meters. But your high finish goes a few meters past.
47. Minute: Strongly defended by Linder! After a ball into the intersection, Thögersen tries to overrun the German defense on the right. But Linder turns inside in time and resolutely tackles the ball.
46. Minute: The DFB team changes at the restart. Elisa Senß comes into the game for Sara Däbritz and is making her international debut.
46. Minute: The game continues! The German team acts from left to right in the second round.
Deserved lead at halftime: Germany is fighting for the Olympics once morest Denmark
+++ Interim conclusion at half-time: Germany is well-deservedly leading 2-0 and has therefore currently taken the lead in Group C of the Nations League. Popp and Hegering both scored with their heads, Frohms held on to the lead. The Hrubesch team has a real winning mentality, especially when it comes to attitude.
45. Minute +4: Däbritz tries once more from the right edge of the penalty area, but shoots directly into Christensen’s arms. The referee then blows her whistle for half-time.
45. Minute: After Velje takes a break for treatment due to injury, there is three minutes of added time.
43. Minute: The German team doesn’t give up a ball here and works tirelessly. Denmark currently has little room for ideas, Germany is always there and attacking.
40. Minute: The audience in Rostock’s Ostseestadion is always loudly cheering on the German team and wants to whip them to the third goal. The atmosphere is fantastic and the game also has a lot to offer.
37. Minute: Linder once more with a great cross into the backcourt, where Lohmann is waiting. Standing free, she heads towards Christensen’s goal, but the ball falls a little too late and ends up on the roof of the goal. But this scene shows: Germany is, first and foremost, very good in the game and is currently doing everything it can to win. Great job until then!

33. Minute: Frohms is there! Vangsgaard is through following a long ball and shoots from the left, but the Wolfsburg player goes long and blocks the shot strongly.
32. Minute: Good opportunity through Bühl! She initiates the attack herself and gets the ball back via a detour to the left of the penalty area. However, she doesn’t hit the dropkick properly under pressure, as the ball goes quite clearly past the left side of the box.
29. Minute: Frohms! After a corner, she parried Troelsgaard’s low follow-up shot from around eleven meters with her foot and thus preserved the two-goal lead.
Hegering increased once morest Denmark: DFB team now in Olympic qualification
26th minute: GOOOOOORRR FOR GERMANY! That’s 2-0! After a corner, Hegering climbs up like a picture and heads powerfully into the far corner. As with the 1-0 win, Christensen has no chance and can only watch the ball. The 2-0 win for the German team, which currently takes them to the top of the table. As of now, the team would have it in their own hands to book the ticket for the Olympic qualifying tournament.
24. Minute: Germany is stumbling a bit now, but is fighting hard. Sarai Linder in particular is busy and runs tirelessly.
20. Minute: Frohms unsure! After a cross, she reaches over, but doesn’t scoop the ball all the way out, instead extending it to Vangsgaard, who is standing well. However, the striker is a bit surprised and cannot control the ball, so it bounces out of the goal.
17. Minute: Good chance for Denmark to equalize! After a corner, Troelsgaard is completely free in a central position. However, from a standing position she heads the ball next to the goal. That was close!
Popp takes the early lead: Germany once morest Denmark now live
14th minute: GOOOOOOOOR FOR GERMANY! Alexandra Popp takes the lead! After a strong win over the ball, the DFB team quickly switched gears. Däbritz sees Bühl on the left. Linder runs behind, receives the ball from Bühl and crosses it to the penalty spot. The Wolfsburg player is lurking there and heads an ice-cold shot into the far corner. The early 1-0!
10. Minute: Things can’t go any further for Svava. She has to leave the field early; Janni Thomsen is new to the game.
9. Minute: Germany makes the game, Bühl in particular is trying to find creative moments. After a blocked cross, Nüsken tries from around 20 meters, but Christensen catches the ball safely.
7. Minute: Svava stays lying there for a moment, grabbing his thigh. But following a break in treatment, she continues.
6. Minute: First conclusion of the game. During a counterattack, Vangsgaard runs alone once morest two German defenders. She just tries from around 25 meters, but her shot goes completely to waste and spins towards the touchline.
3. Minute: After Huth lost the ball, the visitors almost had their first chance. The Danes switch quickly. Vangsgaard passes through to the incoming Svava just before the penalty area, but the pass goes a little too far.
2. Minute: The German team starts pressing earlier and starts with pressure.
1. Minute: The ball is rolling, let’s go!
Update, 8:29 p.m.: The game will begin in a few moments. The Danes will toast.
Update, 8:26 p.m.: The national anthems are now playing. Despite the cold, the atmosphere is great; numerous fans of both teams came to support them in Rostock.
Update, 8:23 p.m.: Interim national coach Horst Hrubesch made this statement immediately before the game. “We have enough quality to turn the game around,” said the national coach shortly before kick-off. However, the 1980 European champion did not mention the low temperatures as a hindering factor.
Update, 8:14 p.m.: The game starts in around 15 minutes. Then it will be seen whether the German team can get revenge for the first leg defeat once morest the Danish team. With a win with a difference of at least two goals, Germany might move to the top of the table – and would have it in their own hands to secure participation in the Olympic qualification tournament in February before the last Nations League matchday on Tuesday.
Update, 7:57 p.m.: The Danish starting eleven is now also known. Striker Amalie Vangsgaard in particular may not be remembered very well by the German team. She scored twice in Denmark’s 2-0 first-leg win in September.
Star player Pernille Harder from FC Bayern is also missing from the guests’ squad. She is currently suffering from a medial ligament injury.

Update from December 1st, 7:35 p.m.: The line-up of the German national team has now been determined. As expected, Merle Frohms returns between the posts following recovering from a concussion.
Goal guarantee Alexandra Popp is once more part of national coach Horst Hrubesch’s first team. The Wolfsburg striker missed the last international matches in October with muscle problems.

Live in the ticker: Germany is doomed to win once morest Denmark
First report from December 1st, 6:13 p.m.: Rostock – For the German women’s national team it’s all or nothing on Friday evening. The DFB team will face Denmark in Rostock’s Ostseestadion from 8:30 p.m. (all information regarding the TV broadcast).
The team of interim national coach Horst Hrubesch wants to preserve its last chance of taking part in the Olympic Games next year. In order to be there in Paris, the national team must win their Nations League game once morest the Danish selection.
Germany once morest Denmark live: Hrubesch-Elf fights for the last Olympic chance
After four match days in Group C of the Women’s Nations League, the German selection is in second place with nine points behind Denmark (twelve points). Behind them are Iceland (three points) and the pointless Welsh women. Only Germany and the Danes still have a chance of first place before the fifth matchday, which represents a decisive step on the way to the Olympics in Paris next year.
Only the first-placed nation in the group is entitled to take part in the four-team final tournament of the Nations League at the end of February. The four best teams play for the two European Olympic starting places.

In the event of a win with a two-goal difference, the DFB team would overtake Denmark
Horst Hrubesch’s team recently regained self-confidence following the bitter elimination from the World Cup in the summer. After a 5-1 win once morest Wales at the end of October, the DFB women recently won 2-0 once morest Iceland. This means that the ticket for the 2024 Olympics can still be booked. But this requires a home win – with a difference of at least two goals.
Then Germany would draw level with the Danes in terms of points. And following Germany’s 2-0 defeat in the first leg in September, the direct comparison would also be balanced and the DFB women would be ahead due to the better goal difference.

In the live ticker: DFB-Elf once morest Denmark under pressure to win
In the final group game on Tuesday (7.30 p.m.) in Wales, the German selection, which can rely on goalkeeper Merle Frohms, who is returning from a concussion, once morest Denmark, would then have qualification for the four-team tournament in February in their own hands.
In the event of a defeat or a draw, the Hrubesch team would no longer have the opportunity to qualify for the Olympics. If they win with just one goal difference, the chances would be reduced to a minimum. Follow the German national team’s game once morest Denmark here from 8:30 p.m. in the live ticker. (wuc/dpa)
