For Poland, this match represents a chance to score their first goal and potentially secure their first win in a major tournament, as this is their debut appearance at a Women's Euro.

Denmark's captain, Pernille Harder, emphasized the importance of giving it everything they've got to finish the journey on a high.

What the Coaches Say
