<p>Having beaten China 1-0 in their first game, another solid but unspectacular performance saw Martina Voss-Tecklenburg&#8217;s side win by the same scoreline in Valenciennes.</p>
<p>A downpour greeted the referee&#8217;s whistle to start the game and it was Spain created several half-chances in the opening stages until the rain abated and the ball was easier to control.</p>
<p>Sara Doorsoun&#8217;s sound defending prevented Spain forward Nahikari Garcia getting a shot on goal after she nipped in behind the German back-line.</p>

<p>Garcia then passed up a glorious chance to open the scoring, once again finding herself one-on-one with Germany goalkeeper Almuth Schult only to send her effort wide of the target.</p>
<p>Silvia Meseguer was the next Spain player to miss a chance before Germany started to turn the screw.</p>
<p>The match was settled three minutes before the interval as Dabritz pounced.</p>
<p>Alex Popp&#8217;s header was saved by Spain goalkeeper Sandra Panos but her team-mate Marta Torrejon dallied in possession and her clearance was turned over the line at almost point-blank range by Dabritz.</p>
<p>The second half had far fewer goalscoring opportunities than the first as Germany closed ranks later in the game to secure a second win of the finals and all but book their place in the next round.</p>
