The match unfolded at Gamla Ullevi, where Sweden started strongly. Monica Jusu Bah put Sweden ahead in the 8th minute, according to reports. Denmark responded in the 30th minute when Pernille Harder scored the equalizer, as noted by match observers.
The game remained level until deep into added time, when Janni Thomsen scored the winning goal for Denmark, sources said. Denmark's victory was tempered by an injury concern for their star player. Pernille Harder was substituted after colliding with Zigiotti Olme in an aerial duel, per match coverage.
With this result, Denmark now leads their World Cup qualifying group, based on standings. Sweden, meanwhile, will look to rebound when they play against Serbia in Stockholm on Saturday, as scheduled.
