NEW DELHI: European champions England secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Denmark in Sydney, putting them on the brink of qualifying for the last 16 of the Women's World Cup. The winning goal came early in the sixth minute, courtesy of a sensational strike by Lauren James.
The match was played in front of a crowd of just over 40,000 spectators in Sydney, and it was an overall satisfactory performance for the English team. However, the victory was overshadowed by a potentially serious knee injury suffered by influential midfielder Keira Walsh during the game.
