Well played, girls! The German women's team won their final group game against Zambia at the Olympic football tournament in France to seal their place in the quarter-finals, where they face Canada.
The convincing 3-0 win over Australia, in which Lea Schüller bagged a goal and Giulia Gwinn set up two, was briefly tempered by the 4-1 defeat to USA. However, Horst Hrubesch's side bounced back in their closing group match with a 4-1 win to clinch second place in Group B.
Quarter-final against Canada
Klara Bühl was instrumental in the win with two assists and a goal.
Germany now go up against Canada in the last eight. Gwinn and Co meet the runners-up of Group A in Marseille on Saturday 3 August for a place in the semi-final, which would take place on Tuesday 6 August at 18:00 CEST in Lyon. The bronze medal match is scheduled for 9 August (15:00) in Lyon, with the final for the gold takes place on Saturday 10 August at 17:00 in Paris.
