  • 21' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 26' While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with England winning 100% of all matches.
  • 31' Chloe Kelly has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 2 goals to his name this season.
  • 36' It looks like no one’s ball. Denmark is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 38' The England manager makes a substitution. Keira Walsh departs to be replaced by Laura Coombs.
  • 43' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. England needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 48' Denmark is showing some good football. However, Denmark are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 53' Denmark come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.
  • 58' Lucy Bronze, a , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.

  • 81' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 86' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Sanne Troelsgaard suffering a number of foals already.
  • 87' The Denmark bench stirs into life. Karen Holmgaard is withdrawn and Sanne Troelsgaard gets his opportunity.
  • The referee brings this contest to a close. England take all three points.
