Good evening and welcome to our coverage of the Group A contest between France and Germany at the Women's World Cup.

Thanks for joining us tonight for what has been a hugely entertaining game, join us tomorrow for more action from the Women's World Cup in Germany.

The final whistle is blown and Germany win the game and win Group A. They were easily the better team here and will face Japan in the quarter-final, France will move on to play England.

Popp gets a shot off as Germany work it well across the edge of the French box, but it's well over the bar

Germany deal with this corner more effectively and Angerer holds the ball

Abily shows the desperation of the French as she takes a shot from forty yards, it was a good one though and Angerer is forced to tip it over

Germany still pressing as Grings swings in another corner but Hingst can't keep it in at the far post

GOAL FOR GERMANY!!! That is it, as Grings cleverly flicks on a cross from the left to find Mbabi free on the right side of the box, one touch to control and then a rifled finish back across Deville saw Germany restore their two goal advantage, quality goal.

France still plugging away, Boulleau getting a cross in, but the German's are swatting their attacks away with relative ease.

Thiney breaks at great pace from the corner, but Delie's movement ahead of her was terrible and Thiney ran out of options and then gave the ball away

Popp wins a corner for Germany which is dealt with by Soubeyrand at the near post

France looking tired now and Germany look much more likely to get a fourth than the French do of equalising

Popp gets a cross in from the right but it was too close to Deville who claims it comfortably

Bajmaraj catches Renard slightly late, it wasn't malicious though and it just seems to be the number of rolls the fouled player does that determines whether a player is booked or not

France still struggling to create anything at all from open play, their best hope is getting another corner

Germany have taken the momentum out of the French team well after their second goal by keeping possession well

Alex Popp comes on for Annike Krahn

Deville struggling as she flaps at a cross and then Bajmaraj's effort has to be cleared off the line by Abily, Goessling tries a shot from the resulting clearance from twenty yards which clips the bar and goes behind.

Grings, looking for her hat-trick, curls the free-kick into the side-netting, good effort.

Georges is penalised for a push on Mbabi just outside the French penalty area

Great chance to equalise as Soubeyrand slides in Delie perfectly and Delie was in on goal, but she dragged her shot badly and it ended well wide of the far post
