Germany head coach, Kathrin Peter, says his team fully deserved their win against the Falconets.
Two goals in the final half-hour steered three-time champions Germany to a 3-1 victory over Nigeria’s Falconets in their FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup Group D clash at the Estadio Metropolitano de Techo in Bogota early Thursday morning.
The former champions were rattled by the Falconets in the first half but dominated the game after the break.
Peter praised their opponent but insisted they deserved to claim the maximum points.
“It was a really tough match today. That was expected, but we actually had big problems in defence,” he told FIFA.com.
They had a few chances where we had the necessary luck; we have to admit that.
“But in the second half, we were really good and asserted our dominance, and I think we deserved to win in the end.”
The next match for the Falconets is a clash with Venezuela in Cali on Saturday evening.
