Midfielder Nadine Keßler saved the women's national team from a defeat in the first international match of the year against France, fourth in World Cup 2011 and the Olympic Games 2012, in Strasbourg. With two goals (66., 81.) the player from Bundesliga's leader VfL Wolfsburg made a 3:3 (1:2) after a 1:3-handicap in the middle of the second half.
Bianca Schmidt (12.) scored the first goal of the match from nearest distance after a brilliant combination. France answered with two goals by Louisa Necib (14., 22.). The game seemed to be decided after Marie Laure Delie benefited from a mistake of the German captain Saskia Bartusiak (53.). But then Keßler equalized the match.
