PERTH, Australia (AP) — Substitute Amalie Vangsgaard scored in the 90th minute as Denmark beat China 1-0 at the Women’s World Cup on Saturday.
With time running out in a game of few chances, she rose to head home Pernille Harder’s late corner.

The win saw the Danes go level with European champions England at the top of Group D after its 1-0 win against Haiti earlier in the day.
