1st FIFA World Championship for Women's Football 1991 Group A

 

women's world cup 1991 logoThe hosts were seeded in Group A along with the runners-up in the European Championship, Norway who had also won the prototype tournament organised by FIFA four years previously. Denmark had finished third in the Euros which had been played over the summer. New Zealand had finished level on points with Australia in the Oceania qualifiers but had qualified by virtue of their superior goal difference. The two teams had both won their home games 1-0 so it came down to how many goals the could put past the hapless Papua New Guinea side: 27 in the case of the New Zealanders compared to 20 for the Aussies.

Norway led at half-time from Svensson's penalty (14'). The Danes were awarded a penalty of their own early in the second half which Annette Thychosen converted only for Medalen to restore Norway's lead two minutes later. Norway finished second while Denmark would qualify for the next phase as one of the best third placed teams.
