    Spain are really causing problems now. Germany can't get hold of it and they're being pinned back.

    Aitana Bonmati is slipped through on the right but can't find a team-mate with the cross.

    Ona Batlle does well to stop Klara Buhl and Spain have a brilliant chance at the other end.

    Lucia Garcia plays a one-two with Alexia Putellas but takes too long to get the shot off. She was clear in the box but wanted an extra touch!

    Amaiur Sarriegi gets in behind on the right and tries to cut it back but it's intercepted and helped on by Jana Feldkamp.

    Germany will be frustrated. They were the better team in the first half but that mistake has put Spain on the front foot.

    They are dominating possession now.

    Alexia Putellas (47 mins)

    Lena Oberdorf won't want to see this again.

    Alexia Putellas sneaks in behind, the German defender doesn't deal with it and the Ballon d'Or winner chips it cheekily into the back of the net from close range.

    Former England striker on ITV4

    Germany have done themselves credit. They are breaking with speed and have certainly created the better of the chances. Jule Brand has been very effective.

    Spain have had a lot of possession but just haven't been clinical and haven't tested the German keeper enough.

    How impressive with Jule Brand in that half by the way?

    If in doubt, pass to Alexia.

    That was the motto of former Barcelona coach Lluis Cortes, whose all-conquering Catalan side won their first Women's Champions League title last season, along with a domestic Double.

    His team was bursting with talent - the likes of Spain's all-time top scorer Jenni Hermoso, Norway winger Caroline Graham Hansen and Netherlands midfielder Lieke Martens - but it was Alexia Putellas who Cortes, and his players, would turn to in difficult moments.

    Germany had the better chances and should be leading. Spain have dominated possession in periods but haven't tested the goalkeeper enough.

    Germany 0-0 Spain

    Jule Brand is having a blinder. She wins it for Germany on the edge of her own box and slips it right to Lina Magull. She can't quite skip away from Leila Ouahabi in time.

  20. Postpublished at 15:15 Greenwich Mean Time 17 February 2022

    Germany 0-0 Spain

    Jule Brand tries to curl it over to Klara Buhl from a top spot on the right and almost does it.

    It's intercepted just in time because Buhl would have been through one-on-one with the keeper.
