Goalscorer Fløe's tenacity is a dream for teammates as Denmark nears World Cup qualification

Danish national team player Cecilie Fløe celebrated a breakthrough performance, scoring her first goal for Denmark and contributing a crucial assist in their 2-1 victory against Sweden.

The win significantly boosts Denmark's chances of qualifying for next year's World Cup. Fløe, playing in her ninth national team match and third as a starter, opened the scoring and later set up Pernille Harder's match-winning goal.

Teammate Olivia Holdt described Fløe as a player who relentlessly chases down balls others would ignore. "She just smashes through. It's great. For a player like me, it's great to have someone like Fløe on the pitch. She's just strong," Holdt said, highlighting Fløe's work rate and physical presence.

Even star player Pernille Harder, who came off the bench to score the winner, lauded Fløe's contributions. "She is a physically strong player, technically good, sees the game, and just keeps going. She doesn't think too much but just goes for it," Harder commented. "I think she has done incredibly well in all the national games she has played. She is a fantastic player who has developed a lot in recent years and plays with confidence."

Fløe herself expressed enjoyment in the physical battle, particularly against the Swedish team. "I think I ran a lot, but I guess I just like to fight a bit with some Swedes," she said with a smile. Denmark now needs just one point from their next match against Serbia to secure a World Cup spot.
