By contrast, they met Moldova for the first time and won 4-0 in their first game. After a 1-0 defeat against the Swedes, they only gave up one point in the 0-0 win in Poland. All other games were won without conceding a goal. The loss of points in Poland meant second place behind the Swedes in the end, which was enough for the direct qualification, as they were second-best group runner-up and conceded the fewest goals of all group runners-up. Only defending champions Germany and France conceded fewer (zero) goals. The best Danish goalscorers in the qualification were Pernille Harder and Nadia Nadim with 7 goals each.
