This is the route." Her teammate Janina Minge underlined: "So arithmetic does not bring anything." The clear will to win should have a decisive influence on team dynamics and the upcoming encounter.

With a positive outcome of the game against Sambia, the way to the quarter -finals could open and an important contribution to strengthening women's football in Germany.
