53'

Okoyino da Mbabi claims for a penalty as she produced a fabulos turn in the box and then went down, but the referee saw no contact being made. It looked like a penalty but it wasn't easy for Melksham to see from her angle

52'

Chapman is very solid at the back for Canada, yet again cutting out a through ball, this time looking for Okoyino da Mbabi

51'

Pandemonium breaks out from the corner and it very nearly falls to Garefrekes two yards out but Mcleod just does enough to avert the danger

50'

Laudehr wins a corner for the Germans

49'

It looks like a broken nose for Sinclair which you can see from a mile away. She's a tough player though and is straight back onto the pitch

48'

Sinclair gets caught in the mouth by a swinging arm from Peter and is really suffering as a result

47'

Behringer floats the ball towards Pringz at the backpost but it's wayward and produces only a goal-kick

46'

There have been two substitutions for Canada at half-time Kyle and Nault being replace by Parker and Gayle

46'

Immediately from kick-off a long ball is played looking for Pringz, but it's well claimed by Mcleod who has had a very hit-and-miss game

46'

The second half kicks off in Berlin

45+1

The referee brings the half to a close and the Germans will be very pleased with the scoreline in what has been a relatively tight half. The Canadians have threatened and will want to continue to do so in the second half, Germany will look to press home their advantage.

45'

Very disappointing corner for the Canadians and it's dealt with extremely easily

44'

Filigno goes down under a heavy challenge from Krahn and it's a free-kick to be taken by Nault who arrows it into the area and it's dealt with by Angerer who puts it behind for a corner

43'

GOAL FOR GERMANY!!! It's Okoyino da Mbabi who makes it two for the home team. A fabulous ball from Peter at left-back broke the offside trap and set Okoyino da Mbabi through on goal, Mcleod unwisely stayed on her line and it was a simple finish for the German to double her sides advantage

42'

It's another corner for Canada but their training ground routines aren't coming off against the experienced German defence and it results in a goal-kick

41'

Behringer breaks away down the right and unleashes a driven effort that had Mcleod worried but it went over the bar

40'

Okoyino da Mbabi very nearly gets on the end of a through ball from Pringz but it was excellent goalkeeping from Mcleod to come out and block the danger

39'

Ambitious ball from Ladehr and Garefrekas couldn't quite make it and it rolls out for a throw-in

38'

Angerer doesn't make the corner but her defence does it's job and it goes out for a throw-in

37'

Kyle looked to burst onto a through ball but Bartusiak was there to clear the ball for a corner

36'

Lovely flick from Filigno plays in Nault down the left but her cross finds only white shirts
