In a commanding performance, Germany's women's football team defeated Austria 5-1 in Nuremberg, edging closer to qualification for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup. Nicole Anyomi opened the scoring in the 17th minute, followed by Vivien Endemann, who scored her third goal in three matches with a volley in the second half. Sjoeke Nüsken added a third goal, while Jule Brand contributed with two assists and a goal of her own. Austria's Chiara D'Angelo managed to score a consolation goal, but Germany's dominance was clear as they maintained their perfect record in Group A4 with three wins from three matches. The match also marked a significant day for women's football, as Marie-Louise Eta took charge of her first training session at Union Berlin, becoming the first woman to coach a male team in one of Europe's top five leagues. The teams will meet again for the return match in Austria on Saturday.
