The Swedish national team won their opening match at the European Championship in Switzerland. The team of Peter Gerhardsson celebrated a narrow 1-0 win against Denmark on Friday evening (0-0).
Filippa Angeldahl scored the goal of the day in Geneva (55th minute). Kosovare Asllani contributed the template in her 200th international. A second Swedish goal prevented Denmark’s defense lawyer Frederikke Thøgersen when she was just scratching a shot from Stina Blackstenius from the line (62nd). In the 78th minute, too, she prevented a higher deficit with a block.
Bayern star Pernille Harder then had the equalizer on the foot for the Danish selection, which was defeated by long distances of the game shortly before the end. However, the striker failed on the latte (81st).
