Germany´s Women Soccer National Team has defended the World Championship beating Brazil 2:0 in the Gold Medal Game today in Shanghai, China!!!
Congrats to the whole team!
It was a tight and exciting game!
For all who didn´t see it:
Brazila had the advantage in the first half but missed to score a goal despite some good chance including a shot that hit the post.
In the 2nd half Team Germany had a great start when star player Birgit prinz scored after 52 minutes to give Germany a 1:0-lead.
Brazil answered with furious attacks that finally lead to a penalty shot when Brazil´s star Marta was fouled in the penalty area after 63 minutes.
But goalie Nadine Angerer stopped the weak penalty shot by Marta and a tremendous shot from outside the penalty area a few minutes later.
Brazil kept attacking but after missing that 2 big chances to equalize their play wasn´t as powerful as before.
Just 5 minutes before the regular time expired Simone Laudehr scored by using her head to give Germany a 2-goals-lead.
9 minutes later (90 + 4 additional minutes) it was all over and Germany won the 2nd title in the history of Women´s Soccer World Championships.
Team Brazil was better regarding chances and possesion but good luck and an excellent Nadine Angerer lead to a German victory in the end.
Nadine Angerer became MVP Goaltender of the tournament and had 6 consecutive shut-outs in 6 WC games to set a new record mark in Soccer WC´s history by breaking a 17 year old record legendary Italian goalie Walter Zenga did at Men´s WC 1990.
The MVP of the WC trophy was awarded to Brazilian Marta.
Results:
1. Germany
2. Brazil
3. U.S.A.
4. Norway
CONGRATULATIONS TO TEAM GERMANY!!! :happy: :happy: :happy:
