Germany boss Martina Voss-Tecklenburg admitted she was pleased to have set up an “easier” quarter-final after her side’s victory over Spain ensured they will avoid a crunch meeting with England in the last-eight of the Women’s European Championship.
The eight-times champions arrived at this summer’s championships with some doubts over their credentials but backed up their opening 4-0 victory by beating pre-tournament favourites Spain in a terrific encounter at the Brentford Community Stadium last night.
