Sarah Ernst sealed the victory for Germany with a late strike in stoppage time (90+3').

With this result, Germany leads Group D with six points from two wins. Nigeria, having won one and lost one, is in second place with three points. The Falconets’ fate in the tournament now hinges on their final group stage match.
