Denmark too strong for Ireland in Dublin
Match
Ireland crashed 4\endash 0 to ruthless Denmark, with a virtuoso Lone Smidt Hansen pulling the strings.
Buoyed by a 1500-strong crowd at the spiritual home of Shamrock Rovers, Ireland began with what the Irish Independent dubbed: "plenty of fire and spirit".
On 33 minutes Breda Cummins ran onto a Garryowen and headed powerfully at goal, only for Gitte Hansen to make a reflex save.
But three minutes from the interval, debutante Karen Leth Hansen gave Denmark the lead with a six-yard header. Leth Hansen was the Danes' sole representative of the once-mighty BK Femina club.
With Ireland rattled, it was soon 2\endash 0 when Birgitte Frederiksen flicked in a left-wing cross from strong-running Smidt Hansen on 39 minutes.
Nine minutes into the second-half Debbie McGarry scored an own goal, inadvertently knocking another dangerous cross by Smidt Hansen past 17-year-old goalie Sue Kelly.
Substitute Annie Gam-Pedersen scored Denmark's fourth on 56 minutes, with Smidt Hansen again the architect.
On 80 minutes Ireland's best ref Paddy Daly blew his whistle to bring an end to the agony.
So it was disappointment for the Girls in Green \endash but only equivalent to that felt by their male counterparts, thrashed twice by the stylish 'Danish Dynamite' team in qualifying for the Mexico '86 World Cup.
