She feels it’s a foul from Matysik but nothing is given, the Polish defender threw herself at that and it was a good but of defending. It would have been a very soft penalty if it was given.Share54 min: Poland win a free kick and Zieniewicz’ delivery sees Bruun head it out for a throw. It’s then rebuffed by the Danes and they come forward with Bredgaard popping in a long range effort but Szemik saves. She concedes a corner but it’s well defended by Poland.Share52 min: Poland again have so much space in the midfield to come streaming forward but they see it out for a Denmark throw. A goal feels like its coming.Share51 min: Tomasiak has a great run down the left and she battles into the ares. She passes to Padilla who sees it wide, that should have been the third for Poland.Share49 min: Poland peel forward as they look to try and secure a historic result. It is one amazing thing to score your first Euros goal and it is another amazing thing to win your first game. Both things could be achieved for Poland this evening but this time they are judged offside. Denmark counter and they get into the box with Bredgaard, who is making her first appearance at the tournament, taking a shot but it’s saved.Share47 min: My esteemed colleague Scott Murray has worked out a table for Group C with the scores as they are right now and this is how it looks as it stands:1.

In that game Sweden are winning 3-1 and Carlotta Wamser has been sent off for a deliberate handball.Share33 min: The build-up play may be slow but Poland are keeping up the pressure. Szymczak takes a long range effort and Bay repels it but spills.

Denmark and Poland both have some top-notch cheeses. My personal favorites are Fynbo and Maribo from Denmark and Oscypek from Poland. Poland is also great for meats (Kielbasa and Kabanos are personal highlights!)
Hope to see a better showing from Denmark today, disappointed with them this entire tournament. And of course, rooting for Poland to avoid becoming the first-ever team not to score at their debut Euros!
That’s a not so fun fact for Polish fans if they do fail to score today. I think Ewa Pajor may get one this evening.ShareSweden v Germany is kicking off at the same time as this one, at 8pm BST, and the Guardian are also bringing you all the updates for that one. You can keep up to date here:ShareI’d love to hear from you and as always a bit of snack chat is always welcome. In England there is a major heatwave at the moment so I will be exclusively eating ice poles for this one. You can get in touch via email, of course any thoughts on the Euros are also welcome.ShareHere’s a nice piece to have a read of before kick-off:ShareHere’s how Group B shook out yesterday:ShareAndrée Jeglertz, Denmark coach, added from the Danish camp:
It’s about winning. We have played two of the best teams in the world and we needed to play in a different way against them. Tomorrow we will get a little more space and a little more time on the ball. Hopefully, we can dominate the ball and play a different kind of game.
ShareNina Patalon, Poland coach, has said:
I would like us to score a goal and make history. We have a positive attitude and I repeat once again this will also be a special match. I wouldn’t say that Denmark is an easier opponent than Germany and Sweden. The Danes are very versatile and we will have to adapt to them. I hope it will be a good match.
