Both Denmark and Finland lost their European Championship premieres and therefore the meeting between the teams was a must-have match to have the chance to advance to the quarterfinals.
In a goalless first half, it was Denmark that was closest to a lead goal.
Nadja Nadim was given a chance to change things around.
In the second half, Denmark continued to push for a lead goal and in the end it came.
After a post where a Danish player first hit the crossbar, the ball ended up with Pernille Harder right in front of goal that could nod 1-0 to Denmark.
Finland did not manage to get a further equalizer at the end of the match and had a hard time creating dangerous chances.
SVT's expert commentator Markus Johannesson was critical of how the Finnish management staff acted after the goal.
- I think it's strange leadership.
Until the goal, they have a good match plan, but when the goal comes, it takes a very long time before the players know how to play and above all changes to go for it for real and Finland is leaving the European Championships, Johannesson said.
Substitute Jenny Danielsson created Finland's only dangerous goal chance to equalize but failed to outsmart the Danish goalkeeper.
The match ended 1-0 to Denmark and Finland is now eliminated from the European Championships.
