Thank you so much for joining me for this game. Poland have made history and sign off of their first-ever Euros with their first goals and win. For Denmark it is a tournament to forget with three losses from three games. For all the details, read the pinned post at the top of the blog. We shall be back tomorrow for Group D’s final matches, see you then.
Match report
Poland’s Natalia Padilla-Bidas scored her country’s first goal at a major women’s tournament in a 3-2 victory over Denmark to end their European Championship debut on a high note.
Both teams had already been eliminated from quarter-final contention but Saturday’s match confirmed final group placings with Poland finishing third and Denmark fourth.
Bayern Munich’s Padilla-Bidas brought the Polish fans to their feet at Allmend Stadion with her historic strike in the 12th minute when a loose ball fell at her feet and she fired home.
Ewa Pajor, Poland’s all-time leading goalscorer, doubled their lead eight minutes later when she intercepted the ball in the midfield, laid it out to Padilla-Bidas then charged to the back post to head it in.
Janni Thomsen pulled one back in the 59th minute but Poland restored their two-goal lead when substitute Martyna Wiankowska struck from the edge of the box, firing the ball in off the bar. Denmark, runners-up at Euro 2017, replied in the 83rd minute when Signe Bruun headed in Katrine Veje’s pinpoint cross. Reuters
