The strike means Harder is now Denmark’s all-time leading goal scorer, male or female.

Harder took to Twitter to share she was both “happy and proud” to achieve the feat and was overjoyed to celebrate breaking the record in front of fans at Viborg Stadion.

She’s certainly secured her status as a national team legend.
