    Germany 0-1 France

    France are back in numbers as Germany press. They play some nice football down the right flank but the end product is missing as Celia Sasic's cross is too close to Sarah Bouhaddi. 

    Thirteen minutes to go.

    Germany 0-1 France

    A chance for France to double their lead as they are given a free-kick right on the edge of Germany's area. It is Louisa Necib territory, but Camille Abily takes it, rolling the ball to Necib, who smacks the wall with her shot and eventually it is an easy catch for Nadine Angerer.

    Oh, that was a chance for Germany! The ball pinballs inside the France area and eventually falls to Simone Laudehr, who has the goal at her mercy, but she skews her shot inches wide of the post.

    Atletico Madrid forward - and Chelsea target - Antoine Griezmann is a happy man right now

  6. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 71 mins

    Germany 0-1 France

    Changes for both sides now as, probably to Germany's relief, Elodie Thomis is replaced by Claire Lavogez before Sara Daebritz replaces Alexandra Popp for Germany.

  7. YELLOW CARDpublished at 69 mins

    Germany 0-1 France

     Germany rattled? A couple of bookings for Silvia Neid's side with Lena Goessling and then Dzsenifer Marozsan are both yellow carded for bad challenges.

    Game on then. What will Germany's response be? They exited the 2011 World Cup, which was on German soil, at the quarter-final stage and they won't want to be heading up early again. Just over 20 minutes to find an equaliser.

    Louisa Necib had time to think about it and she is a class act. A great strike from a poor defensive header.

    Just as it looked like France would be ruing missed chances, they snatch a deserved lead! The goal comes from a poor clearing header on Germany's part as a long ball into the box is headed weakly by Babett Peter and Louisa Necib is there to pounce, picking up the ball on the edge of the box and firing home via a deflection.

    Dzsenifer Marozsan stands over the free-kick and smashes it over the wall and towards the far corner, but Sarah Bouhaddi flings herself at it to the push the ball behind for a corner. Marozsan has certainly made a difference, unsettling France.

    Yellows being flashed all over the place now as Laura Georges lunges out a foot, taking the legs of Dzsenifer Marozsan. Free-kick now for Germany, some 35 yards from goal...

    Marie Laure Delie is then booked after the referee takes a disliking to her arm being up against the neck of Babett Peter as the two challenged for the ball.

    I said at the end of the first half that Germany wouldn't play as badly again and they've started well. Substitute Dzsenifer Marozsan has already made a difference.

    At the other end, Louisa Necib fires in a free-kick and Marie Laure Delie jumps to meet it. The ball is a bit too high and skims off the top of her head, with a frustrated Wendie Renard behind her. It was the defenders all day long as she came steaming in at the far post. Need to shout up Wendie.

    Much better from Germany as they finally work Sarah Bouhaddi in the France goal, and substitute Dzsenifer Marozsan played a big part in it. The midfielder worked the ball towards the edge of the area before squaring a pass to Celia Sasic, whose low drive brings out a diving save from Bouhaddi.

    Wendie Renard breaks down a Germany attack as she expertly shepherds the ball over the line, before Elodie Thomis scampers off down the right to whip in a cross, but she can't find a French team-mate.

    A big change for Germany at the break as midfielder Dzsenifer Maroszsan, only not starting because she is working her way back to full fitness, is on for Anja Mittag.
