Spain beat Denmark (1-0) and qualified for the quarter-finals of the Women’s Euro in England. The Iberians finish second in Group B.
The deliverance fell in the 90th thanks to a goal from Cardona following 89 minutes of outrageous domination. Overtaken by Germany, assured of finishing first even before this day, the Spaniards will have the formidable privilege of challenging England, host and favorite of the event, in the quarter-finals, next Wednesday, in Brighton.
With equal points before this match with the Danes, with a largely favorable goal difference which made a draw sufficient, the players of Jorge Vilda still played without calculation.
They, as usual, had two-thirds of the possession, and made the game look like an attack-defense sequence. Their first goal in the game of the competition, on a header from Marta Cardona (1-0, 90th) rewarded these tireless efforts.
Germany beat Finland
Finalists of the last edition, the Danes can regret the 4 goals conceded once morest Germany in the first match and not having beaten Finland more than 1-0.
Germany for its part largely beat Finland 3-0 in Milton Keynes. The eight-time European champions will face the Austrians next Thursday, avoiding the host country, England, also impressive since the start of the competition.
