Neither side have been able to find a breakthrough in the first 45 minutes of the World Cup third-place playoff match between Germany Women and England Women.

Germany Women and England Women are locked in a goalless draw at the break in their third-place playoff match at the Women's World Cup.

Silva Neid's side had the first opportunity of the game when a cross came in from the left and Lena Petermann headed at goal, but Karen Bardsley tipped her effort past the post.

Germany pressed forward again as Sara Dabritz collected a loose ball inside the penalty area and her shot beat Bardsley, but somehow Steph Houghton managed to hook the ball off the line.

The Lionesses should have taken the lead when Lucy Bronze raided down the right flank and cut the ball back into the middle for Houghton, but the skipper scuffed her effort straight at Nadine Angerer.
