Poland's Natalia Padilla-Bidas scored her country's first goal at a major women's tournament in a 3-2 victory over Denmark on Saturday that sends Poland home from their European championship debut on a high note.
On paper, there isn't much to be sorted in Group C. Two sides are through, two are going home. But there are plenty of reasons to be interested, trust us. Two of the best and most storied nations in women's football, Sweden and Germany, meet to decide who will win the group.
The move started with the goal scorer Natalia Padilla sliding in Ewelina Kamczyk down the right wing. Poland’s No8 then aimed a low cross towards the run of Ewa Pajor at the near post, which she was unable to turn goalwards under heavy pressure, but the ball rolled out invitingly for Padilla to stroke into the far corner with her left foot.
Poland avoided finishing bottom of Group C by beating Denmark 3-2 on matchday three, rounding off their maiden UEFA Women’s European Championship in perfect fashion.
Denmark midfielder Emma Snerle will miss her team’s final Women’s European Championship match due to a concussion.
