Denmark, who were whipped to take a victory against Spain to manage the promotion to the quarterfinals, played hungry from the start and had not only prevented more game-leading Spain from taking the lead in the first half, but also created some sharp chances.
0-0 would stand and in that situation, Spain was the team that would move on from the group.
Denmark were extremely close to taking the lead through Nadia Nadim with just over ten minutes left, but the shot was saved by Spanish goalkeeper Sandra Panos.
And the Spaniards secured the advancement when Marta Cardona in the 90th minute was noted for the match's only goal.
With that, the Danes were eliminated from the European Championships.
In the quarter-finals, Spain will face England.
