Double Women’s World Cup winners Germany have suffered a surprise home 2-1 defeat by Brazil, just over three months before the start of the World Cup.
The Germans, ranked No.2 in the FIFA world rankings, were well beaten in Tuesday night’s friendly in Nuremberg.
Tamires opened the scoring for a dominant Brazil in the 11th minute as they bounced back from defeat on penalties by England in the Finalissima at Wembley on Thursday.
German goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger did not look convincing for the visitors’ second goal when Ari Borges’ attempted cross from close to the corner flag went into the far corner in the 37th minute.
The Germans failed to breach the Copa America champions until Jule Brand tapped in a consolation goal in stoppage time.
The game marked the farewell of former Germany captain Dzsenifer Marozsan, who came on in the second half for a 112th cap.
Olympique Lyon playmaker Maroszan is retiring from the national team in the wake of a severe knee injury last year.
