Denmark captain Pernille Harder converted a first-half penalty to register her maiden Women’s World Cup goal, setting up a 2-0 victory over Haiti on Tuesday and securing her side’s spot in the last 16. They now travel to Sydney to play a blockbuster tie against co-hosts Australia on Monday.
The result ends a long drought for the Danes, who last advanced to the knockout stages in 1995. Group D, though is topped by England, who face Nigeria in Brisbane on Monday, while runners-up Denmark meet Australia in Sydney.
