DFB women show the EM targets with 6-0 victory against Austria

In the Franz Horr Stadium in Vienna, there was a very special football festival today: In the last test game before the euro, the DFB women caused a sensation with an impressive 6-0 defeat against Austria. In front of 5150 spectators, the players of national coach Christian Wück showed a strong performance and let the anticipation for the upcoming tournament in Europe continue to rise. Sydney Lohmann used the first option after 14 seconds to score the first goal of the game.

The Austrian players had to give up further hits from Lea Schüller (9th), Selina Cerci (26th), Klara Bühl (31st), Lohmann (39.) and Laura Freiang (43.). Captain Giulia Gwinn described the first half as a "fireworks" and it was clear that the team obviously had fun acting on the pitch. After the game, she and Wück expressed extremely positive about the performance shown. "The fun on the square was noticeable," says the captain. SPOX

preparation for the euro

This clear defeat against the DFB women also means that the players were able to optimally prepare for the upcoming European Championship. Wück had made four changes in the starting eleven to test different players for the tournament. Cerci and Lohmann in particular convinced with strong performances and applied for a place in the European Championship squad. In the second round, too, the Germans acted in administrative mode, which meant that no further goals were scored. Only goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger knew her mistakes from the first half and showed a safe idea.

Germany is therefore with high efficiency on the offensive, even if the defensive revealed weaknesses. Wück looks optimistic about the euro and has already planned a training camp in Herzogenaurach from June 19. It will be interesting to see whether Lena Oberdorf, who recovered from a cruciate ligament rupture, becomes fit in time to be able to participate in the tournament.

A look at women's football

Finally, it is worth taking a look back: the development of women's football has overcome some hurdles in the past few decades. It was only in 1970 that football was officially released by the DFB after the game was classified as dangerous for many years. In 1993 other rules for women applied, such as a smaller field or the use of youth balls. In many countries, especially in the United States, women's football is now actively promoted, which makes it clear through the success of the US women's national team, which has already won the World Cup four times.
