MILTON KEYNES, England (Reuters) - Already-qualified Germany recorded a comfortable 3-0 win over Finland in their final Group B clash at the Women's European Championship on Saturday, making it three victories from three games as they continue their bid to win a record ninth title.
Germany imposed their dominance from the opening seconds, with striker Alexandra Popp having their first attempt inside a minute, but Anna Signeul's Finland side defended well and had some luck to avoid their opponents taking an early lead.
The Group B winners doubled the lead three minutes into the second half with another header as captain Alexandra Popp became the first German to score in all three Euro group stage games.
