TWO-TIME champions Germany crashed out of the Women’s World Cup today after drawing 1-1 with South Korea in their final Group H match in Brisbane.

Cho So Hyun had put South Korea in front in the sixth minute before Germany captain Alexandra Popp equalised with a 42nd-minute header.

But Martina Voss-Tecklenburg’s world number two side were unable to add to that, with Popp going closest with a header against the crossbar on the hour mark.
