Germany Women Secure Comfortable Victory Over Norway in Friendly
Germany women's team defeated Norway 4-2 in a friendly match played on 21 August 2026. The result continues a strong run for the hosts, who have won their last four competitive fixtures. By contrast, Norway arrive in poor form, having suffered four defeats in their previous five matches. And here's the thing — this is not the Norway that once challenged Europe's elite.
Germany's recent record reads well: three victories over France and Italy, plus a 5-2 win against Japan. Their only setback in that stretch came 1:4 against Sweden. Norway, meanwhile, have been found wanting. They lost 0:8 to Hungary and 1:4 to the same side, adding defeats to Slovakia and France along the way. To be fair, they did manage a 4-0 victory over China, but that came amidst the losses.
The four-goal margin suggests Germany controlled proceedings from start to finish. Norway failed to match their opponents' intensity, and it showed in the scoreline. The visitors have not scored more than one goal in any of their last five matches, while Germany have found the net at least twice in each of their recent outings. The difference in quality was evident.
What matters now is momentum. Germany extend their unbeaten run to five matches across all competitions. Norway's streak of poor results continues, and the question of whether they can regroup before their next fixture remains unanswered. The old head of the German side must have settled them down — experience tells you how to close out a game like this.
The friendly serves as preparation, but the results speak for themselves. Germany are on a good run and will expect to carry that form forward. Norway need to find answers quickly, or they risk falling further behind the pack. The score says it all: 4-2, and nothing more needs to be added.
