According to Reuters, the Denmark team led by a single goal at the break before pulling away in the second half of the game, with Rasmus Lauge netting ten goals from eleven shots for the Danes against the France team side that battled bravely but came up short.
Denmark’s historic third victory has prompted the operators of the Oresund Bridge, which runs between Denmark and Sweden, to light it up in the Danish white and red colors after the game.
There was disappointment for Sweden, who co-hosted the tournament with the Poland team, as they were beaten 39-36 by Spain in the bronze medal game.
