Copa 71: Meet Denmark's Women's World Cup hero
Meet the Danish school girl who scored an historic hat-trick in the first ever Women's World Cup final - a competition which is now the subject of a new film, Copa 71.
In 1971 Suzanne Augustessen followed England's Sir Geoff Hurst in 1966 by scoring three goals in a World Cup Final, it鈥檚 a feat only USA鈥檚 Carli Lloyd achieving the feat since 2015.
Yet while Lloyd and Hurst鈥檚 hat tricks have gone down in football folklore, Augustessen鈥檚 World Cup in Mexico has been largely forgotten.
Over 100,000 fans saw Denmark beat the hosts 3-0 at the Azteca Stadium and goalscorer Augustessen told Sportshour's Katie Smith about her remarkable feat.
