German women's youth football sees cup victory and heat‑challenged season finale

The SSV Elze women’s team captured the Kreispokal with a 3‑2 win over SG Sehlem/Westfeld. Captain Victoria Heuer scored all three goals, including a penalty, and said, “We are overjoyed that we finally brought the cup to Elze.”

In the season‑ending round of the E2 junior league in Zuffenhausen, matches were played under 31 °C heat. Team 1 beat TSV Mühlhausen twice (2‑0, 1‑0) and narrowly lost to Renningen (0‑1, 1‑2). A dramatic comeback against the hosts saw a goalkeeper’s saves keep the score at 0‑2 before a late surge secured a 3‑1 victory. Team 2, composed mainly of players born in 2017, earned draws against Renningen and Heumaden but fell short in the remaining games. Across the round, 172 goals were scored.
