# Denmark Secure Place in Last 16 of FIFA Women’s World Cup with Win Over Haiti
Denmark have booked their place in the last 16 of the FIFA Women’s World Cup with a 2-0 win over Haiti in Group D. The Danes finished second in the group behind England, who topped the standings with a perfect record.
The match was a tight affair, with both sides creating chances but unable to find the breakthrough. It was Denmark who eventually broke the deadlock, with Pernille Harder scoring the opener in the 77th minute. Harder then doubled her tally and sealed the win for Denmark in the 90th minute, sending them through to the knockout stages.
The win was a huge relief for Denmark, who had been under pressure to secure a place in the last 16. They had drawn their opening two matches against New Zealand and Cameroon, before finally getting the win they needed against Haiti.
Harder was the star of the show for Denmark, scoring both goals and providing a creative spark throughout the match. She was ably supported by her teammates, who worked tirelessly to keep Haiti at bay and secure the win.
The result means that Denmark will now face either Australia or Brazil in the last 16 of the tournament. Both sides are strong contenders for the title, so it will be a tough test for Denmark. However, with Harder in such good form, they will be confident of progressing further in the competition.
