Germany take Women's U17 title

Goalscoring instinct
Marozsan showed true goalscoring instinct after 33 minutes to toe-poke the ball past Laëtitia Philippe from five metres following some hesitancy in the French defence, before Popp held off Caroline La Villa's challenge to shoot low into the net from the left edge of the penalty area ten minutes into the second period. The goals were just reward for the more inventive Germans, who had earlier created clear-cut scoring opportunities for Svenja Huth and Popp, restricting France to two long-range efforts from Léa Rubio during the opening half hour.

Exposed defence
France continued to press despite the two-goal deficit, with Pauline Crammer, Rose Lavaud and Marine Augis all testing Anna Felicitas Sarholz in the German goal. However, that merely exposed Gérard Sergent's side even more in defence and Marozsan exploited the space on the right to cross for Rudelic to score the best goal of the tournament by rifling home past Philippe from ten metres. Still hungry, Germany sought further goals with substitutes Rudelic and Tabea Kemme demonstrating the depth of Peter's squad, while France were reduced to ten before the end; La Villa receiving a direct red for striking Popp as tempers flared.
