US EditionSweden crushes Germany at the Euros for the first time and tops group
SWITZERLAND, JUL 12 – Sweden secured Group C with a perfect nine points, handing Germany their heaviest Women's Euro defeat and capitalizing on a red card to dominate the match, officials said.
- Sweden defeated Germany 4-1 on Saturday at the UEFA Women's Euro, securing top spot in Group C and their first-ever Euro win over Germany.
- Both teams entered the match having secured their spots in the knockout stage, with the outcome determining which side would top the group and potentially steer clear of facing France in the later rounds.
- Germany opened the scoring with a goal by Jule Brand, but Sweden quickly drew level and then dominated the match by scoring through Blackstenius, Holmberg, Rolf, and Hurtig, capitalizing on Germany being reduced to ten players after Wamser received a red card for handball.
- Germany conceded four goals in a Euros match for the first time; coach Christian Wck acknowledged that certain actions during the game were unsatisfactory and emphasized the need to address them.
- Sweden's victory extended their unbeaten run to fifteen games and likely sets up a quarterfinal against England, while Germany will face the winner of Group D.
