LUCERNE, Switzerland (AP) — Natalia Padilla scored one goal and set up the others for Poland’s first ever Women’s European Championship win, 3-2 over Denmark in their final group game on Saturday. Poland is appearing in the tournament for the first time and the Spanish-born Padilla got the country’s first ever goal when she opened the scoring in the 13th minute, pouncing on a rebound to fire past Maja Bay Østergaard after Ewa Pajor’s initial effort was blocked at the right post. “We waited a long time for it,” Poland coach Nina Patalon told UEFA.
