by England (4-2-3-1)
Mary Earps Big stop on the line to deny Hegering in the first half. Brave goalkeeper who exudes confidence. 8
Lucy Bronze The one-woman wall to deny Däbritz early. Integrated into her link up with Mead down right. Tested Frohms. 8
Millie Bright Early tackle on Däbritz set the stall. Strong aerially, but caught by Magull’s run for the equaliser. 7

Leah Williamson Calm management at the back. Less forward running than usual, but put his body on the line when it mattered. 7
Rachel Daly Lost early to Huth which caused her problems. Generally steady, but tired. 6
Keira Walsh Little space to operate in, but brilliant in possession. Superb assist to spot Toone’s run for England’s goal. Player of the match – 9
Georgia Stanway Early innocuous booking put her on thin ice. Fails to have regular combative presence in mid. 6
Fran Kirby Didn’t have much of the ball, but used it well when she did. Frustrated by German errors. 6
Beth Mead Strong outlet that finds the places on the bottom right. Gave Rauch a test. Pulled out injured in the second half. 7
Ellen White Physical presence and energy have never failed. Would have expected to do better with early chance. 7
Lauren Hemp Showed speed to give outlet down England’s left. Never gave up. Made the delivery to the winner. 7
Substitutes
Ella Toone (for Kirby, 56) gave England the lead with a perfectly stacked lifted finish over Frohms. The dog after coming on. 8
Alessia Russo (for White, 56) 7

Alex Greenwood (for Daly, 88) 6

Nikita Parris (Hemp, 119) 6
Germany (4-3-3)

Giulia Gwinn Came into the game in the second half with her surging runs forward from right back. 7
Catherine Hendrik Handled well with White and then Russo in the air. Showed his strength in ranking the back line. 7

Felicitas Rauch Struggling to track Mead’s runs. Booked in the first instance. Good deliveries from set pieces. 6
Sarah Däbritz Full of running with presence in all areas. Well-struck effort kept out by Bronse early on. 8
Lena Oberdorf Calm and controlled in the middle. The 20-year-old showed why she is one of the players in the tournament. 8
Lina Magull Quiet first period by her usual standards, but came alive in the second. High quality finish to smooth. Germany’s player of the match – 8
Svenja Huth Her typical busy self in Germany’s front line. Clear the challenge and the initiator of many attacks. 8
Lea Schüller Late call-up due to late injury to Alexandra Popp and could not influence beforehand. 6
