Semi-Finals | Germany vs Spain Highlights & All Goals | European Women's U17 Championship 2026

Looking to maintain their impressive form in front of goal today. Germany have been an impressive force defensively. Ernst bolster the defence. Captain Joanna Eben and fellow goal... Stable back line ahead of her as well. With three of the back four having started. And the two captains there to exchange penance. We're the only team to beat Spain in the group stage. It's a record winner's Germany. To either side. Closely by the German defence. Looks to try and fashion an early chance. Scored her first of this final tournament. Last time out. Played short. Looping ball. Contributes a certain calmness. Early goal for Germany would certainly add for that. Following a spell in Japan. Been with this group since 2025. Galvez. Touch forward. Molina. Loses out to... Dalton Silano. Continues to battle for the ball. Nothing given by the referee. Play continues. And it fizzles out quite quickly for Germany. Alaina. Finds Alaina. Sends the ball up high. And just in the sunlight. Doesn't have much in the way of support. Up against Olanda. Just about gets the ball away. And a battle to get back on it. Ayudales. It's lifted high. May fall for it. Lingering. Still get one hit. Almost breaks for Germany. Now it does fall away. One of the record winners. Maybe some nerves setting in. Alaina. A real battle to get back on the ball. Galvez. Finds Alaina. Still Alaina. Looks to one side. Anyone arriving in red. And the captain. Schwozzi arriving. Giesen. Hopes to go alone. Schwozzi asking for the ball to be placed to her feet. It's just about kept in play. And bounces kindly into the hands of... Anthea Wege. Giesen. Ball nodded down. Ayudales was there trying to do for Spain. Chacon. This is good from Spain. Can they capitalise? The effort to capitalise just yet. Schwozzi. Going in there to pick it up. And Angela Galvez asking for the ball. Pinging around still. And then the whistle blown. A shrug of the shoulder. Here's Giesen. It's ahead of her. With Germany. As much as they did come out top. Germany needed to be closer. A key part of their preparation. Alaina lifts it high. The ball still pinging around. Will it fall kindly for Spain? Back into danger. And it's fallen nicely for Alaina. And only just cleared. Out for a corner. Laura Ernst pinging the ball off Galvez. Land that too easily. Germany yet to have a shot on target. Try and fashion one here. And that will be their first shot. Chacon wants to get up against Muriel Dürer. Has the beating of the German defender. Chacon. And in the end dive. And the chase is off. And there's one. Try Spain and have a look. Ruiz. Advantage that Germany have. Delivery there. The header was almost wide. Plenty of support arriving. Alaina up against Ernst. Still plenty of hesitation. Now the ball whips in. They head it. Looping high and over. Desperate to find any inroads. Progression of the ball as well. But they win it back here. Chozik chasing. I feel Alaina ahead of her. A slip from over help. Galvez looks to either side. Tries to feed it forward for a captain. To Ford. A curling ball fizzing through the area. Picked up by the Redos. Here's Molina. Galvez. Germany have looked threatening on the counter so far this evening. And that misjudged. Bias and. Freitag. Here is Lin Freitag. Trying to set something up here for Germany. Up against Darfinger. Looking for a captain who takes a slightly heavy touch. It's turned away. By Herbert. And going down in a heap is Victoria. Germany looked excellent on the counter through this game. And here's Freitag. Forced out wide. Freitag. Launching the ball into the area. Anyone latch on to it. The shot comes from distance. Schorst with the shot and. Freitag's there and lurking. Fernandez. Put it down and then cleared away. Joanna Hebbem. Rolled forward into the path of. Chacon. Who cuts it back. Molina. Fetched forward into the path of Fernandez. Any additional time. Appeals for handball there. Nothing given by the referee. Puts all the pressure on the shot. Vies. Substitute. Curling ball. Puts it still there and waiting. Freitag will try and pick it up. The ankle. Forward. Reus. Takes a quick look up. And needed to do. Clayman chasing. Goes first. It's not a bad ball. The header is there. And stretching high. And it will be penalties. Of England. Orlando steps up. And sends the keeper the wrong way. Spain strike first. All eyes on the substitute. Steps up. And sends the keeper the wrong way. Crop. Staring back at it. Fernandez. Has to lock in here. Takes a look to one side. Martins. Call as you like. And Theo Vega went the right way. Both want to prove that they've improved from the last meeting. Chacom. Saved by... An opportunity to give Germany the advantage here. Up against Vega. And the advantage goes the way of the Germans. And that's how much it means to the... Angela Galvez. The 15-year-old. Already scored one penalty this tournament. And dispatched... To take Germany one step closer to the final. Kessler. The substitute. Brilliant. Goalkeepers to save a penalty. In this series so far.
