83': Denmark loses another goal to VAR
Denmark appeared to double its lead on an awkward play. Haitian goalkeeper Kerly Théus opted to challenge a Denmark attack outside the box. While she won the challenge, Théus remained down for a few moments. That allowed Denmark to gather possession, setting up Pernille Harder for a goal off a header.
However, VAR wiped the goal off the board, keeping Denmark's lead at 1-0. That's still good enough to help Denmark advance if the result holds.
76': Haiti so close
Haiti nearly leveled the match when Batcheba Louis' header off a set piece was saved by Lene Christensen.
70': Things holding firm for Denmark
There hasn't been much action in the second half, which is good for Denmark. China and England have traded goals in their match while Denmark still holds its lead, keeping the Danish on track to advance.
49': Here comes Haiti
The Haitians brought some pressure in the opening minutes of the second half, creating chaos in front of the net as they looked to keep their World Cup hopes alive.
HALFTIME: Denmark leads 1-0
Denmark sits in a good spot entering the break, carrying a 1-0 lead. As things stand, Denmark would advance to the Round of 16 with England leading China 3-0 at halftime. If Haiti were to even the match in the second half, Denmark would still likely advance unless China pulls a miracle against England.
