Until then.

China play South Africa in the next game so you presume they will have more of the ball but they will have to be mindful about their physicality.

They need to make sure all those players that picked up a booking are free to play against Spain in the final group game. They will need them.

For both staff and players Germany will feel that they are in the World Cup now.

Germany have a tough test against Spain on Tuesday because China did not make it easy for them.

Giulia Gwinn's goal was set up by a great first touch. China had chances and they had to take them. At this level you don't get many of them.

Germany keep their record of never losing their opening game at the World Cup, claiming seven victories and a draw.

At the end of the day all that counts in an opening game is three points.

There are not many smiles on the German faces and they weren't great defensively but they are up and running.

All over

Germany had to work hard and take the three points courtesy of Giulia Gwinn's stunning second-half strike.

Wang Shuang whips in a dangerous delivery into the six yard box but Germany defender Kathrin Hendrich makes a very important headed clearance to get the ball away.

That is it.

One more chance. Germany have to be diligent here. China think this is it.

30 seconds remaining and China have a corner.

This is it...

One of those additional minutes have already passed by.

Germany look like seeing this game out.

Still time for China to get something from the game, there are THREE minutes added on.

It's been a professional performance from Germany. There'll have three points on the board. China will rue the chances they missed in the first half.

No.

An awful cross from PSG's Wang Shuang, failing to clear the first player at the near post.

China corner, can they make it count?

Watch as teenager Giulia Gwinn scores a brilliant opener to put Germany ahead.

A last change for Germany with five minutes to go.

The dangerous Svenja Huth is replaced by Lea Schuller.

It was a great effort from Zhang Rui. She just swept in there but could not keep it down. It was hit with such venom.

China applying some pressure to the German backline late on.

Zhang Rui comes steaming in to a loose ball on the edge of the box but cannot find the target with her viciously-struck effort.

Lena Oberdorf probably felt she had to take out Wang Shuang then. She had been quite disciplined until then.

The clearest yellow card you will see all tournament.

China's Wang Shuang rolls Lena Oberdorf, but the Germany teenager is wise by chopping down her opponent and taking one for the team.

Excellent defending.

She has already got one and is close to another.

Giulia Gwinn smacks a left-footed drive from the angle of the box, but it is gathered at the second attempt by China goalkeeper Peng Shimeng.
