Dramatic debacle: DFB women lose 1: 4 against Sweden!

On July 13, 2025, the DFB women's team played in the last group game of the Weuro 2025 against Sweden-a meeting that should go into the history books. Germany had started the game with the hope of wining the group, but the game took an unexpected turn that ended in a bitter 1: 4 defeat.

But the DFB women showed at the beginning of their possible determination: After only 17 seconds, they enabled Jule Brand the first shot, which was parried by Sweden's goalkeeper Jennifer Falk. In the 7th minute, the team then managed to take the lead. Lea Schüller conquered the ball in midfield, played to Wamser, who staged fire in the penalty area and scored 1-0.

The joy of the early goal did not last long. In the 31st minute there was a dramatic turn when Wamser deflected a ball by hand in an unfortunate Situation and saw the red card. This was a difficult blow for the German team, which from then on had to continue to play outnumbered. After the dismissal, Sweden took command; Stina Blackstenius equalized in the 12th minute, followed by a second goal from Smilla Holmberg, which secured the 2-1 for the Scandinavians in the 30th minute.

The penalty that Fridolina Rolfö converted after the handball brought Sweden 3-1 in the lead. Klara Bühl was combative and praised the team's character, despite the difficult circumstances. National coach Christian Wück commented on the situation after the game and described the challenge that the team stood before this setback: "The game was difficult, especially after the dismissal," said Wück.

If we look back on the performance of the DFB women, you can say that despite the challenges, in particular the violation of Giulia Gwinn and the red card for Wamser, they showed courage and fighting spirit in many moments. Do not miss how the story will develop in the upcoming games!
