US EditionGermany, Spain Draw 0-0 in Women's Nations League Final First Leg
Spain relied on goalkeeper Cata Coll's key saves to maintain a clean sheet in a defensive match against Germany, who dominated but failed to score, ahead of the Madrid decider.
- Friday's final first leg in Kaiserslautern saw the Spain women’s national team, world champion, and Germany women’s national team finish 0-0 at Fritz-Walter-Stadion.
- Germany came into the match seeking revenge after Spain women’s national team eliminated Germany women’s national team in the Euro 2025 semifinals in Switzerland, while Spain coach Sonia Bermudez’s promise not to play for a draw contrasted with Spain’s defensive posture that drew boos.
- Early in the match, Franziska Kett forced a desperation save and a header was cleared off the line; Esther Gonzalez struck the post and Klara Buhl later hit the woodwork, while a stoppage-time chance from Jule Brand was cleared by Cata Coll.
- The 0-0 draw leaves the title unresolved, with the return leg scheduled for Tuesday in Madrid as players and coaches call it decisive and motivating.
- Germany pressed throughout and repeatedly tested Spain's defence, with Christian Wuck saying his side proved they could compete but were frustrated by missed chances ahead of the rematch.
