Belgium came through a dramatic – and delayed – Group 1 finale as their 0-0 draw with Germany proved enough to eliminate the holders and pip Denmark on goal difference.
Belgium came through a dramatic – and delayed – finale to UEFA European Women's Under-17 Championship second qualifying round Group 1 to earn a finals debut.
The deciding games were originally scheduled for Tessenderlo and Beringen on 12 March, then moved to Genk the next day because of snow, only for the matches to be postponed again and rescheduled for this afternoon in their initial venues. Holders Germany, who trailed both Denmark and Belgium by a point, suffered a first-ever qualifying phase elimination as the hosts held them 0-0.
