Overview
- The second leg in Caen finished 2-2 after Germany’s 1-0 win in Düsseldorf, sending the DFB-Frauen through 3-2 on aggregate.
- Melvine Malard struck in the 3rd minute before Nicole Anyomi leveled, Klara Bühl put Germany ahead after halftime, and Clara Mateo equalized late.
- France created more chances but lacked precision, with notable misses and an offside call against Delphine Cascarino, while Germany converted the few chances it produced.
- Sakina Karchaoui and captain Griedge Mbock returned, Marie-Antoinette Katoto was sidelined, and Bühl’s influence again troubled the French back line.
- Germany will face Spain in Madrid on December 2, as France turns to the third-place playoff with Sweden, and coach Laurent Bonadei is expected to stay in post for now.
