"The result is positive and we will see them again in the Metropolitano [Stadium], Coll said. This is Germany. We knew they would be dangerous and have their chances. Fortunately, they didn't put them in."
"Everyone who saw today's match knows that we didn't just keep up but played really well, the Germany defender Janina Minge said. If we can convert our chances and keep defending as we did we can get the win on Tuesday."
Germany dominated the first leg in Kaiserslautern, registering 19 attempts on goal while Spain managed nine. Spanish goalkeeper Cata Coll produced outstanding saves, particularly in the first half, and prevented several German chances from becoming goals. Klara Buhl led Germany's attacking threat with powerful shots and dribbles, twice seeing efforts come back off the woodwork and the post, while Jule Brand rattled the crossbar. Esther Gonzalez threatened for Spain by hitting the woodwork after the break. Steady rain fell through the second half. The 0-0 score leaves the tie finely poised ahead of the return in Madrid.
