The German women's national team secured a convincing 4-0 (3-0) victory over Norway in Stavanger for the 2027 World Cup qualification. Following the 5-0 win against Slovenia, coach Christian Wück's side demonstrated its strength. Goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger kept a clean sheet despite several collisions.
In Stavanger, the DFB women's team defeated Norway 4-0 in their second group match of the 2027 World Cup qualification. Goals came from Elisa Senß (18th minute), Carlotta Wamser (45'+1), Vivien Endemann (45'+4), and Jule Brand (58th). Before 8,500 spectators at Viking Stadium, the Germans showed efficient chance conversion, often criticized in recent months.
Coach Christian Wück made three changes from the Slovenia game: Janina Minge replaced Camilla Küver in central defense, Nicole Anyomi Shekiera Martinez up front, and Wamser Linda Dallmann in midfield. Captain Giulia Gwinn earned her 70th cap. Endemann shone with a goal and assists, Wamser as a former striker in midfield.
Goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger saved big chances from Frida Maanum and Caroline Graham Hansen and lay on the ground multiple times after collisions, including one with Julie Blakstad. After a clash with Elisabeth Terland near the end, she said: 'I'm fine. We kept a clean sheet, so you always feel good. Of course I took a few hits, but I think that's part of playing football.' Wück praised: 'We have to thank Anne for keeping the clean sheet.'
The Germans applied early pressure, with Senß scoring from a Franziska Kett assist. Before halftime, combinations involving Endemann and Wamser dominated. After the break, Brand countered for 4-0. Jella Veit debuted for the senior team replacing injured Sophia Kleinherne. 120 traveling fans celebrated with chants.
Norway, coached by Gemma Grainger, remained goalless. The DFB team now faces Austria on April 14 in Nuremberg and April 18 in Ried. The qualification is only one-third complete, but the start is perfect.
