Spain hit the crossbar twice in the first half, Teresa Abelleira from a long-range free kick and then Aitana Bonmati close to the break, Jenni Hermoso’s follow-up shot deflected narrowly over the top.
Alexandra Popp had a go from 35 yards but Spanish goalkeeper Cata Coll made the save, Janina Minge pulled a shot narrowly wide after the restart.
Germany were awarded a penalty in the 63rd minute as Cata Coll collided with Giulia Gwinn, who got up to convert from the spot.
