There are Danish flags and Viking hats being waved around the stadium after what was a very close finish.

Clear heartbreak for China and their fans who came out in droves.

Their forgiving fans make lots of noise for China as they do a lap around the pitch.

Many Danish supporters are also still in the stands.

The crowd is electric, energetic and there’s a buzz around the stadium.

People don’t seem like they want to leave after all that fun!

Wow! What a phenomenal finish.

Denmark has its first win in 16 years at a World Cup, and they left it so so late to do so!

A brilliant header from the substitute Vangsgaard is what separated the two sides in what had been an entertaining and frantic contest in Perth.

Speaking of late, it's pretty late for us too, so we're going to leave it there.

Thanks for joining us on the coverage of this first super Saturday of the Women's World Cup, we'll be back with more coverage tomorrow so I hope you'll join us then.

My word that was tight! A free kick is sent goalwards and then there is a mad scramble to get the ball away from the goal mouth which Denmark just about manage!

Oh, the flag is up, so it wouldn't have counted due to two China players being offside as the freekick was whipped in from the right side.

Oh my goodness! Late drama in Perth!

The corner came in, the header flew goalward and Amalie Jørgensen Vangsgaard gets what must certainly be the winner!

There will be six minutes for China to rouse their stunned supporters in the stands, but as it stands, the Europeans are going to take the three points!

It's the latest winning goal to be scored in the Women's World Cup and was Denmark's first shot on target.

WOW!

DRAMA!

Nasty collision between China keeper Xu Huan and Denmark’s Rikkie Marie Madsen.

Meanwhile, Madsen did have a chance to score but missed with her shot.

Any mistake now will be hugely costly for either of these teams.

And very vocal they have been too.

That's another impressive number as well, given that Perth Rectangular Stadium has a listed capacity of 18,727 for this tournament.

So all up, not bad.

With 15 minutes to go, there is still plenty of play for on the pitch as well.

You could definitely make the case that this is the story of modern football to be honest.

I agree regarding the explanation of decisions like we see in the NRL and cricket, because having the referee half explain that she is explaining the decision seems like it's just double handing the actions.

I'm not sure it adds much apart from allowing the referees to indulge in some showmanship.

China have had to save two attempts at goal in under a minute as Denmark continues to press.

Denmark has maintained control of the ball, stopping a short burst of energy from China’s Zhang Linyan – who has been dynamic and impressive all night.

Denmark has subbed off Kathrine Moller Kuhl for Signe Bruun.

Haiti were super impressive - particularly teen star Melchie Dumonay.

She spoke to ABC Sport's Jess Stewart post match.

"I am really proud to play that first game at the world cup and I'm really proud of my teammates too because even like we lost the game, we're gunna still keep working to move on," she said.

"We will continue to work.

"All the people in Haiti are watching us and they are very proud of the team so we just need to keep going.

"For every player, to play the World Cup is the biggest competition in the world, it is an honour to be here.

"I am grateful for my teammates they helped me a lot to do my best for the team so I am trying to do my best each game."

Here's Millie Bright, who also spoke to ABC Sport's Jess Stewart.

"We knew they were going to be physical powerful, pose threats in behind," the England skipper said.

"We knew it was going to be a gritty game at times, but sometimes you have to play ugly and ultimately we got the job done and three points and a clean sheet.

"[The] First half [was] stop and start.

"Situations like that with penalties, VAR stepping in, decision going against then for us that's all part and parcel and that's what you have to prepare for mentally.

"We were prepared for scenarios like that.

"I think you saw with the composure of the team we just knew we had to keep playing and get on with the game."

China has been in possession in the opening couple of minutes of the second half.

China forward Wang Shuang had a promising shot on goal after being subbed on, but it was saved by Denmark’s keeper Lene Christensen.

On the other end, Denmark’s Josefine Hasbo missed a header with the goal at her mercy.

Momentum is now going Denmark’s way, much to the local crowd’s dismay.

The crowd had fun at half-time raising their flashlights in the air as they danced to the music.

Lucy Bronze spoke to ABC Sport's Jess Stewart after the match.

"Haiti were a tough team, they were really physical," she said.

"I think we didn't really get into a good rhythm in the game to really show our best side but I guess a goal and the three points is enough for us, that's all we really need right now, gets us going in a good place ready for the next two games."

She was full of praise for Haiti's attackers.

"Their strikers are so powerful and fast. They was always going to create chances on the counter attack ... but fortunate enough I think they only had one shot that Mary [Earps] had to deal with but apart from that I think we dealt with them quite well.

"They were very much an unknown team, they will give a lot of teams a good game, not just us."

A protestor has entered the field with a sign saying ‘Yulin Dog Festival’.

They appeared to be protesting the dog meat trade in China.

Security was quick to subdue the invader, and play wasn’t stopped.

On the pitch, Denmark has enjoyed control of the ball, but has barely fashioned a chance, while China has had the best of the opportunities, with the only shot on target thanks to Zhang Linyan.

There might be a sea of red making plenty of noise in the stands, Briana, but their players can't split the red-shirted players in the field.

Just the one shot on target in the game so far, from China early on.

This one is a tense one in Perth.

Denmark’s defender Janni Thomsen had an injury scare early on and was seen cradling her kneen the ground  after a collision but has since returned to the field.

Denmark looks to have had more procession of the ball but China looks more dangerous in front of goal.

The crowd continues its China chant and the sea of red is almost deafening.

The first five minutes of the game have been dominated by China.

China’s Zhang Linyan had a shot on goal but it was saved on the line.

There’s barely an empty seat in the stadium.

The crowd is extremely vocal in support of China.

Right, enough from me here in Brisbane (they are cleaning up around me in the press tribune - it's mighty awkward).

But the action does not stop there today.

Perth Stadium plays host to China against Denmark in the other game in this group.

We'll keep you updated on what happens with posts at half and full time.

I agree Jack.

I know that in the UK the games are split between the BBC and commercial station ITV (with frankly no regard for the curse potential that plagues the men's team).

It would have been great to have more games available to more people.

But I think people are still getting involved in bars and at watch parties etc, which is great.
