Scotland put in their best perfomance so far against the current European Champions this afternoon. We started the game well, but unfortunately succumbed to the German pressure early on and conceded a short corner which they executed well to go 1-0 ahead. It was still 1-0 at half time which we were pretty happy with.
We again started the second half well with energy, but again the German pressure brought about another short corner which drag flick specialist, and captain, Fanny Rinne slotted in the bottom corner.
Scotland had their share of pressure in the second half and failed to convert their only short corner of the match.
As time went on the Germans kept pressing and eventually scored another 2 in the last 10 minutes.
A good performance by Scotland against a very well organised German side who are ranked 3 in the world.
Scotland now go into the relegation pool along with Ireland from the same group and Russia and Azerbaijan from the other group. We now play Russia on Thursday - a game we are confident of getting a result from.
