Germany 2-0 Nigeria
Lea Schuller makes a good run down the right, coming into the box and gaining a yard of space to shoot.
She opts to cut it back into the centre instead, looking for Svenja Huth, but it's read well by Onome Ebi and cleared for a corner.

An early corner is whipped in with pace from Nigeria but it's over the heads of everyone and out for a throw-in on the far side.

Brian Smith: Fifa is destroying football with the new rules & VAR if the Women's World Cup is representative of what's to come.
Shaun Mellor: VAR won me over in Russia but it’s been so frustrating to watch at the Women’s WC, gone really over the top, penalising things nobody can see when everything looks worse slowed down and freeze framed - these can’t have been the injustices it was brought in to clear.

Laura Bassett
Former England defender on BBC TwoThe referees are using VAR as a comfort blanket - 'please back me up, I don't want to get this wrong'. But that's not good enough. That's not what it is there for.

Casey Stoney
Manchester United Women manager on BBC TwoOn the penalty from which Germany scored....
The referee had to see this. If you are in a good position, you see that it is a penalty. You should not need to go to VAR for that to be given and waste even more time. So I am questioning the ability of the officials at this tournament.

'What is going on?'published at 17:26 British Summer Time 22 June 2019
Germany 2-0 Nigeria
Casey Stoney
Manchester United Women manager on BBC TwoI genuinely cannot understand what is going on in this tournament.
Alexandra Popp has to be offside when she scored. When she makes contact she is in line with the keeper's vision - that has to be offside.
How can we not deem that offside?

Casey Stoney has some strong views on the penalty decisions. Make sure you're watching BBC Two to listen to all the reaction!

Germany have not really been made to work. Here is Alexandra Popp's opening goal, which was given despite Svenja Huth appearing to stand in the goalkeeper's eye-line in an offside position.
