FULL TIME!
Chance for Ireland now, first as the ball breaks to Barrett and then to O'Sullivan, but both times the Germans get as block in.
Germany close to a fourth as Schuller runs clear but her shot just trickles past the post.
Quinn wins a free kick and gets her head to McCabe's delivery, but Barrett can't make anything of the loose ball.
Louise Quinn is playing up front again.
Ireland not giving up and Barrett tees up O'Sullivan to shoot, and her effort is deflected over.
GOAL!
Tabea Wassmuth (Germany Women) scores. Game over as Wassmuth gets her second of the game from outside the box. Great finish.
O'Sullivan looks to slip through Barrett but it's well cut out by Oberdorf, but Ireland are going for it now.
Ukraine have hit the front against Montenegro and Ireland's hopes of sneaking a play-off are dwindling.
Substitution
A good ball into the box from Lohmann is dealt with well by McCabe, and Ireland win the free kick as they look to play out.
Yellow Card
A deep McCabe corner finds Louise Quinn at the back post but Germany smuggle it behind.
Substitution
Substitution
Yellow Card
Decent low effort from Marozsan, but a deflection takes the sting out of it and Moloney saves well low to her right.
Disciplined defending from Ireland as Germany pour numbers forward. Littlejohn shuts down Marozsan's forward run and McCabe then forces Wolter to slice her cross.
Good work from Denise O'Sullivan to open up an opportunity for Ireland. She plays the ball to Ruesha Littlejohn and she finds McCabe on the overlap, but she slices her effort wide from a tight angle. It was a chance.
Substitution
Ireland caught on the break as Wassmuth sings in an inswinging cross from the right and Lohmann can't quite reach it.
McCabe whips in a deep corner from the left towards Caldwell, but she can't get a clean head on it and Germany come back at Ireland.
Substitution
Off the bar from Wassmuth! Magull does well to keep the ball on the edge of the box and tee up her winger, and it's a superb effort from Wassmuth but the crossbar comes to Ireland's aid.
Maorzsan swings a deep free kick to the back post and it's headed back by Hegering but Ireland have enough bodies there to hack the ball clear.
Amber Barrett set to come on for Ireland. She plays her club football in Germany's second tier with Koln.
Mix-up in the Irish defence as Diane Caldwell heads the ball out of Moloney's hands and the ball sits up for Marozsan to shoot, but she skies her effort over the bar.,
Still plenty of intent from the Germans and Hendrich gets forward to swing in a low cross but it's well cut out by Niamh Fahey.
Yellow Card
Rianna Jarrett (Republic of Ireland Women) is booked. Soft-looking yellow for Jarrett as she jumps wtih Oberdorf for a header. Referee presumably decided she used too much of her arms.
Substitution
SECOND HALF
HALF TIME
PENALTY SCORED!
Katie McCabe (Republic of Ireland Women) scores from the penalty spot. Lovely penalty from McCabe, sending it high into the left-hand corner - the first goal Germany have conceded in qualifying.
Penalty Ireland as Payne picks out O'Sullivan in the box and she cynically taken down from behind as she's set to score.
Moloney is lucky as she comes out for a lovely floated ball over the top and takes out Wassmuth, but there's no whistle and Niamh Fahey is able to get it away.
And that should be 3-0 as Dallmann again makes that lateral run across the D and plays in Buhl, who is stretching but should still find the target.
Desperate defending again from Ireland as Dallmann jinks in behind on the left and cross towards Wassmuth at the back post, and McCabe very calmly controls and clears.
Germany's movement is really challenging Ireland now and a good run inside from the left back channel from Sydney Lohmann yields space for another shot, but it's straight at Moloney.
GOAL!
Tabea Wassmuth (Germany Women) scores. Ireland cut open again and, after Moloney does brilliantly to deny Wassburg, she's beaten when the winger picks the ball up again and shoots into the bottom corner.
McCabe stays down as she's caught late moving the ball forward. but she seems to be OK.
More danger for Ireland as Wassmuth is played in behind but Moloney spots the danger and comes out to clear, cleaning out the winger in the process.
PENALTY SCORED!
Lina Magull (Germany Women) scores from the penalty spot. Grace Moloney goes the right way but Magull's shot is perfectly in the corner/.
Penalty Germany as Diane Caldwell sticks out a leg and takes down Wassmuth.
The first time Moloney has been properly called into action as she easily fields a deep Kathrin-Julia Hendrich cross.
The tempo has slowed down a bit after that early German flurry, and that will suit Ireland for the moment.
Better from Ireland as Denise O'Sullivan battles for the ball in midfield and O'Gorman switches it across to the opposite side for Jarrett, who makes a run for Katie McCabe but the captain overhits the pass.
Lucky escape for Ireland as Germany catch the Irish defence on their heels andTabea Wassmuth looks to pick out Lnda Dallmann at the back post, but Ireland manage to clear.
It's all Germany pressure so far and Lina Magull vreaks forwards into an acre of space and has a free shot from 20+ yards, but it skews harmlessly wide.
Promising move for Ireland as McCabe looks to find Rianna Jarrett in the box, but it comes to nothing. Germany move quickly up the pitch and win a corner, but it's cleared handily.
Ireland have lined out in a 3-5-2 formation, with Fahey slotting in beside Quinn and Caldwell, and Aine O'Gorman and Katie McCabe as wing backs.
An early attack for Germany as they win a corner out on the left. They go short and Klara Buhl's cross is then headed behind by Marina Hegering.
GAME ON!
The big news for Ireland is a first competitive start for Reading keeper Grace Moloney, while Jamie Finn of Shelbourne makes her second appearance and Niamh Fahey returns from injury.
