Germany defeated China in the first of their Group B matches but only thanks to a second-half strike from Gwinn who broke the deadlock with a wonderful long-range strike. This was a hard-fought victory as China offered strong resistance and even looked dangerous on the counter, particularly in the first half. Something that is hard-fought, such as a win or victory, involves a lot of effort and that’s what Germany had to do in this game – they had to work really hard to beat the Chinese team.
