Germany held on for the second win of the tournament but they were made to work all the way in a classic battle with Ireland in Valencia in a 3-1 victory.

It was a thrilling match with three efforts bouncing off the post and both sides having to save shots off the line. Ultimately, two goals in quick succession from Anna Schroder and Marie Mavers in the third quarter proved all-important. Anna O’Flanagan got one back but Ireland could not nab another to force a result before Lydia Haase nabbed a late third goal. The Germans were first to cause danger, Cliodhna Sargent called on to volley a deflected corner shot off the line.

Charlotte Stapenhorst then hammered a shot off the frame of the goal before Ireland started to get back into the tie. Kate Dillon had an effort disallowed when she tipped on to the post from Nikki Evans’s cross, an earlier foot the infringement. Megan Frazer slammed a clever corner routine onto the post as the match somehow stayed 0-0 at half-time. But it did not stay that way for long early in the second half. Schroder popped home from the second phase of a corner from a baseline cross in the 32nd minute. Mavers then got on the end of a great cross from the right to touch in for 2-0. Eileen Hoffmann clipped the post for a third time in the game. Ireland rallied, though, were back in the mix when Dillon and Katie Mullan worked a cross for O’Flanagan to sweep in. Nike Lorenz kept out a chance for an equaliser before Germany killed off the game in the dying moments when Lydia Haase touched in for 3-1. Shirley McCay (IRL): “200 caps is obviously a result of a few years hard work and I am really proud of the acheivement. I couldn’t wish to do it with a better bunch of girls. We are a bit disappointed with the result but proud of the performance. “We are disappointed to concede so late on when we had come back into the game. We created enough chances to nick a result, at least a draw. But they are European champions for a reason and they took their chances and were clinical.”
