Sweden should have doubled their lead 10 minutes later when Madelen Janogy headed Hanna Lundkvist's pinpoint cross narrowly wide, while moments before Stina Blackstenius was denied by Frederikke Thogersen's brilliant goalline clearance.
Peter Gerhardsson's team are now unbeaten in 13 games after a second straight win over the Danes, with Sweden running out emphatic 6-1 winners in the Nations League last month.
Sweden kept a tight handle on Denmark's skipper Pernille Harder, although she did smash an effort off the crossbar with nine minutes remaining.
The Bayern Munich forward was also involved when VAR decided not to award a penalty to Denmark in the opening minutes for a potential handball by Madelen Janogy, who was marking Parder.

Hojgaard tied for 12th after first round of British Masters in bid to get into Ryder Cup team
BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — Rasmus Hojgaard shot a 3-under 69 in the first round of the British Masters on Thursday as the Danish golfer started his bid to clinch an automatic place on Europe's team for the Ryder Cup. Hojgaard needs to finish in a two-way tie for 29th or better in the tournament being held at The Belfry to earn enough points to overtake Shane Lowry, who is clinging onto sixth place in the list of automatic qualifiers. Hojgaard is currently in a tie with five other players — including his twin brother, Nicolai — for 12th place, three shots off the lead shared by Marcel Siem, Li Haotong, Matthias Schwab and Thomas Aiken. The top six get into the European team automatically. Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Robert MacIntyre and Tyrrell Hatton are already guaranteed to be at next month's matches at Bethpage Black. Lowry is not competing in the British Masters. Luke Donald will announce his six captain's picks to complete the 12-man team on Sept. 1. ___ AP golf:

Dominant Marquez eager to try something new as MotoGP returns to Hungary
MotoGP returns to Hungary for the first time in 33 years, presenting riders with the challenge of mastering an unfamiliar track -- although Ducati gained an edge on their rivals with an unofficial test. At the start of the month, Ducati took six riders for a test session at the Balaton Park Circuit. They rode Ducati Panigale commercial superbikes, to sidestep rules limiting testing on MotoGP race bikes. "This will be a big help," runaway championship leader Marc Marquez, who rides a factory Ducati said on Thursday. His partner on Ducati's flagship team, Francesco Bagnaia added a condition. "It will be an advantage," said the Italian. "Maybe just for the first day." At 4.08 kilometres (2.54 miles) the Balaton Park Circuit is the second shortest of the 22 tracks in this year's championship. Marquez called it a "stop start" track. "The circuit is not the most difficult one," he said. "It's not a very difficult track to learn because it's small, but I like it." "Everyone will be super close." Bagnaia agreed. "The fight will be intense. We have many hotspots where we can overtake." Marquez said he was happy with the change of pace the circuit brings. "It's a different layout from what we're used to in the World Championship," the Spaniard said. But in 22 races we need to have different layouts." The two Ducati stars have been riding in different directions this season. After rebounding to third overall last season following four injury-hit seasons, Marquez has won the last six Sunday races and nine of 13 this season as he accelerates toward a seventh world title. He said this was a "different version" of Marquez. "2019, for example, was different ... in the way I was fast immediately or the way I pushed the race was more aggressive," the 32-year-old said, adding that this season: "I'm smoother and I'm trying to use more experience." "I'm with the best bike with the best team and it's in my hands to win races and achieve my goal, which is to win world championships." Bagnaia, the world champion in 2023 and 2024, has less confidence in the bikes. Immediately after finishing eighth last week in Austria, he told media he was "running out of patience" with his team. - 'Very strange' - He said Friday that he had patched things up in the pit lane. "When you finish a disaster race like it was in Austria and nervous and angry you arrive to speak to with all the journalists about what is wrong with you, sometimes you make wrong declaration," he said. "I was always super-competitive," he said. "This season finishing eighth, seeing other bikes overtaking me in a very easy way is very strange." Sitting third in the championship, 197 points behind March Marquez and 55 behind the other Marquez brother Alex, who rides for Ducati satellite Gresini, Bagnaia knows he has a problem. "We need to change something. I don't know what. It's clear that I'm always slower than last year. We meed to understand what to do." Lower down the grid, Honda has been forced into an awkward rider about turn. On Wednesday, it announced that the 36-year-old Aleix Espargaro would replace struggling Thai Somkiat Chantra. But when Espargaro turned up at the track on Thursday the team found he had injured his spine in a cycling accident "a few days earlier", so sent him for hospital checks and reinstated Chantra. nb/bde/pb/dmc
