    Germany want more. Ten minutes to go and they are staying on the attack. Denmark have dropped deep to try and limit the damage.

    Lena Lattwein makes no mistake with the finish. It's a very simple goal and not defended particularly well by Denmark.

    GOAL - Germany 3-0 Denmarkpublished at 77 mins

    Lena Lattwein

    No doubt about this one!

    Lena Lattwein gets her first goal for Germany as a free kick into the box is headed down to the substitute, who smashes in at the near post.

    A job well done now for the eight-times champions. They are coasting to an opening day win.

  4. YELLOW CARDpublished at 76 mins

    Substitute Kathrine Moller Kuhl is booked for Denmark after catching a Germany player as the two tangled for possession.

    Fifteen minutes to go and Denmark are hinting at trying to push for some late drama. They are in possession although not really doing much to worry the German defence.

  6. DISALLOWED GOALpublished at 74 mins

    Germany 2-0 Denmark

    Germany think they have a third goal as Svenja Huth stabs in from close range after Jule Brand sprinted away down the left.

    Brand looked offside to me but VAR checks before the decision to disallow the goal stands.

    Felicitas Rauch is the second player to be booked as she stops Janni Thomsen from sprinting away down the flank for Denmark.

    Excellent from Pernille Harder - springing it back into life. The game was pretty flat for a couple of minutes. Nicking the ball off Oberdorf who is hesitant and needs to be careful as she tried to foul Harder. Obertdorf is already on a yellow.

  10. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 69 mins

    Germany 2-0 Denmark

    More changes from both sides now as Linda Dallmann replaces Lena Magull for Germany while Simone Boye is on for Sofie Svava for Denmark.

    Just over 20 minutes to go.

    Lena Magull produces a sliding tackle on the edge of the Denmark penalty box. That's how much it means to Germany to win the ball high up the pitch.

    Germany 2-0 Denmark

    The impressive thing from this German side is how much they swarm the Denmark players in possession.

    A corner is half cleared but Germany's attackers throw themselves at the ball to prevent it from being cleared before, eventually, Denmark manage to scramble away.

  13. CLOSE!published at 65 mins

    Germany 2-0 Denmark

    Half a chance for Denmark to pull one back but Rikke Sevecke sends her header over the bar.

  14. Postpublished at 63 mins

    Germany 2-0 Denmark

    This has been pretty much the ideal performance for Germany as they look to lay down a marker. They've dominated from the outset, have a couple of goals and should have had more.

  15. HITS THE WOODWORKpublished at 61 mins

    Germany 2-0 Denmark

    Goalscorer Lea Schuller is replaced by Alexandra Popp while Lena Lattwein and Jule Brand are also on for Germany, replacing Klara Buhl and Sara Dabritz.

    Germany then hit the post for the fourth time in this game from the corner.

    How hard are Germany working off the ball? Not just on the press but all over the pitch. They're showing great energy to win the ball back.

    I said it was such a crucial time after Denmark made three changes and conceding a set piece immediately - crowding their goalkeeper again.

    Germany 2-0 Denmark

    Germany keep on the pressure as they look to turn this into an emphatic victory and they win another corner.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 57 mins

    Germany 2-0 Denmark

    Denmark had made a triple change before that goal with Sanne Troelsgaard, Signe Bruun and Rikke Madsen replaced by Nadia Nadim, Kathrine Moller Kuhl and Mille Gejl Jensen.

    As soon as they came onto the pitch Germany scored, far from ideal timing for the Danes.

  20. 'At last'published at 21:16 British Summer Time 8 July 2022

    Lea Schuller will definitely be thinking 'at last'. Lene Christensen gets it a little bit wrong here, coming off her line and Schuller just gets that vital touch.
