Denmark booked their place in the World Cup last 16 with a 2-0 win over Haiti to finish second in Group D behind England.

Haiti were undone by a penalty for a third game in a row, with Pernille Harder scoring from the spot after Dayana Pierre-Louis’ handball.

Sanne Troelsgaard sealed the Danes’ progression to the knockout stages with a second goal deep into injury time.

Denmark face Group B winners and co-hosts Australia in Sydney on Monday.

It will be Denmark’s first World Cup knockout match in 28 years, since they lost to Norway in the quarter-finals of the 1995 tournament.
