For the fourth time in a row and for the sixth time in its history, the German team, considered favorites, celebrated victory in the European Football Championship by defeating Norway with a score of 3-1 in front of 21,000 spectators at Blackburn's "Ewood Park" stadium.
In this match, the initiative was in the hands of the Germans, who scored the first goal and added the second one just three minutes later. Although Norway managed to soften the result just before halftime, the third goal scored by the best female football player of the past year, Birgit Prinz, buried all Scandinavian hopes.
After this match, Tina Theune-Meyer is stepping down from the position of head coach of Germany, which is her third such trophy with the team.
