Alexandra Popp, making up for lost time after missing the last two Women’s Euros with injury, became the first Germany player to score in all three group games of this event as her header helped Martina Voss-Tecklenburg’s side extend their 100% start to this tournament with a predictably comfortable win over Finland.
In the knockout stages, Germany will face Austria in Brentford on Thursday, playing for the right to return to Stadium MK for a semi-final a week later, probably against Sweden, France or the Netherlands, the three European teams rated above them in the world rankings.
