75 mins: Rebecca Knaak makes another big block on the edge of the box, with Patri’s shot denied this time. Del Castillo replaces Pina, who in the end was well shackled by Wamser.

At the other end, Brand almost lead a Germany break and looked to find Buhl’s run – but her opposite winger had just strayed offside and was pushed wide anyway.

71 mins: Pina’s cross if fizzed across the box but it narrowly evades Bonmati. Berger looked to guide it through and did well to not commit to making a save. Bonmati is trying to get Spain going and raising their tempo.

Athenea del Castillo is going to be next on for Spain: she broke the deadlock against Switzerland in the quarter-finals. Spain need a similar impact now.

69 mins: Germany are sensing this.

68 mins: Almost a glorious moment for Aitana Bonmati as a long ball forward was headed away to Germany and it fell perfectly for the volley 25 yards out. But Bonmati’s connection is not clean and it’s sliced wide.

66 mins: A good spell of pressure from Germany may have sparked some tensions in the Spain ranks. They are going to make their first change by bringing on winger Salma Paralluelo, who can offer some pace they have so far looked short of. Gonzalez is replaced.

62 mins: SAVE! Oh a good chance for Germany! They can hit Spain with some pace but Hoffmann looks to have pushed Buhl too far wide with the pass – Buhl, though, cuts onto her right and unleashes a fierce shot at Cata Coll, who saves and pushes out.

Linda Dallmann replaces Dabritz in Germany’s first change.

57 mins: Chance! Great play from Patri picks out Bonmati, just where Spain want her. Bonmati cuts onto her left and looks to shoot across goal but Sophia Kleinherne makes a crucial block with her thigh.

55 mins: Buhl whips her arms as Germany take a break from waves of Spain’s pressure by winning their first corner of the game.

But the delivery from Buhl was not the best and Spain can clear at the front post.

51 mins: Berger again! This is a brave stop from the goalkeeper as Batlle is released with the ball over the top. Berger races off her line and smothers the chance from Batlle – taking a blow in the process.

48 mins: Buhl and Brand link up in the box and Brand’s shot is blocked. There are appeals for a handball – and the ball did strike Parades’ arm, but only after the Spain captain blocked the shot with her knee. Nothing given.
