    From an Austria point of view they have to make the most of their chances and be clinical. They don't score loads of goals but they have to be better at that tonight.

    That's only the third Euros goal Austria have ever conceded. Germany have yet to concede in this tournament. Keep that up and they're in the semis.

    Austria started the game really well but they almost have to be perfect. Just there you see Germany sense a weakness, they press very well. It's a really well-worked goal in the end, great communication. They knew exactly what they would be doing.

    Austria will be kicking themselves because they started the game so well and that was a product of what they did wrong rather than what Germany did right.

    GOAL - Germany 1-0 Austriapublished at 25 mins

    Lina Magull

    Germany lead and Austria haven't helped themselves at all here.

    Goalkeeper Manuela Zinsberger is hurried and her 50-yard kick goes to a German player.

    Klara Buhl then beats a defender too easily on the left wing before crossing.

    Alexandra Popp steps over the cross and Lina Magull slots home from 14 yards.

    Austria will be happy with this so far, as the underdogs. Actually wait, scratch that...

    Germany have a good game plan structure that Voss-Tecklenburg gives them and they have the players who will carry that out to the letter. That is so powerful as a team.

    A lot of the time the system Austria play, the 4-1-4-1, Nicole Billa's left isolated but she does a lot of work to link-up play, regardless of having to engage with two centre-backs.

    Zinsberger is a very commanding player in her box and making it easy for her defenders which is coming to try and claim the ball.

    Halfway through the first half and it's been fairly even really. Germany have had more of it but Austria hit the post.

    Germany 0-0 Austria

    A dangerous inswinging corner from Felicitas Rauch is headed over by Austrian defender Marina Georgieva. The follow-up corner is played short and Austria keeper Manuela Zinsberger punches away the cross when it comes in - and gets fouled in the process.

    A few tackles flying in now in midfield. A proper derby.

    While the momentum is with Austria at the moment, they need to make the most of it and get the ball into the box, make Frohms do some work.

    Barbara Dunst has had 11 shots and created eight chances for Austria at this year’s Women’s Euros, but is still looking for her first goal or assist.

    The Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder, 24, has been directly involved in more shots (19) without scoring or assisting than any other player in this year’s tournament.

    Barbara Dunst has really grown in this competition, got better and better. She likes to get inside letting the full-back in. If Germany didn't think they're in for a game then they certainly will now. Austria will not lie down in this quarter-final.

    It's great to see both sides are staying true to themselves. Austria haven't tried to change how they're playing and got full-backs quite in high positions to try players forward.

    Austria are inches away from stunning their neighbours.

    Marina Georgieva leaps highest to head off the post from about 14 yards out. Germany keeper Merle Frohms didn't even move.

    Germany try to play it out from the back... but play themselves into trouble instead and Felicitas Rauch does well to head a cross behind for a corner.

    We've seen both teams settle into it when they do get the ball. They're quite happy to pass it and try to move out. Both teams will press and try to win the ball back really quickly when the others have it.

    Germany are squeezing this Austria midfield and forcing them into their half. They are finding it quite challenging to get out their own half at the moment.

    Billa is up there alone and she needs her team-mates to get up quickly and support her.

    Good chance for Germany at the other end now.
