Germany women's national team defeats Japan 2-1 in Bremen

The German women's national football team secured a 2-1 comeback victory against Asian champions Japan in a friendly match at the Weserstadion in Bremen. This victory follows Germany's recent 4-2 win over Australia, serving as a key preparation step for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil.

Japan took an early lead in the 15th minute through Momoko Tanikawa, whose clinical finish capitalized on a defensive error. Germany responded before halftime when Linda Dallmann scored the equalizer in the 28th minute following an assist from Klara Bühl. The decisive goal came in the 73rd minute, with Bühl striking a powerful shot to secure the win for the hosts.

German head coach Christian Wück expressed satisfaction with the team's resilience and ability to respond after falling behind. Despite facing challenges such as injuries to key players like Giulia Gwinn and Lea Schüller, the performance was noted for its tactical discipline and the strong connection between players, particularly the Bayern Munich duo of Dallmann and Bühl.
