Drama at the Germany Cup: DEB women win after extra time!
In a thrilling duel, the German women won their second game at the 2025 Germany Cup in the VR-Bank Arena Landshut 3-2 after extra time against Slovakia. In front of 1,825 enthusiastic spectators, the players prevailed under the direction of national coach Jeff MacLeod and once again showed their skills.
The game started furiously for the German team. In the 6th minute, Emily Nix took advantage of a power-number situation and gave Germany a 1-0 lead. But Slovakia didn't wait long and equalized through Nikola Rumanova just 17 seconds after the German goal. In the first half, Simone Bednarik was even able to increase the score to 2-1 for Slovakia in the 20th minute. So the break was exciting.
A dramatic comeback
In the second third the Germans showed their fighting spirit. It was Tabea Botthof who made it 2-2 with a shot from the blue line in the 33rd minute and thus equalized. The tension remained high in the final period when captain Daria Gleißner had a great chance, but it just missed the goal.
Despite various chances and a power play, it seemed as if the Germans couldn't score another goal. The decision finally came in extra time when Nicola Hadraschek-Eisenschmid fired a precise wrist shot in the 62nd minute and decided the game for Germany. This performance was rewarded with Emily Nix being chosen as the best DEB player of the evening.
