Nadim—who played 81 minutes in the winning effort—and the Danes jumped out to an early lead, thanks to a fifth-minute opener from Katrine Veje. The Danish midfielder tucked in a left-footed effort off of a well-timed pass from captain Pernille Harder.

The Thorns FC forward made many dangerous attempts throughout the match but was unable to sneak one past the Norwegian goalkeeper.
