This was also the first time that both the Netherlands and Denmark reached the final. It was a big deal because, for the first time since 1993, a country other than Germany won the competition. Before this, only two other countries, Norway and Sweden, had won this championship. Norway lost to both the Netherlands and Denmark in the early games, and Sweden lost to the Netherlands in the quarter-finals.[9]
These two teams had already played against each other in the group stage, and the Netherlands won 1–0 with a penalty from Sherida Spitse.
