    Both teams had excellent chances during the last 20 minutes but failed to use them so that the game stayed open for a long, long time. In the 59th minute Mads Hansen even had a penalty shot but didn't score. With four seconds left on the clock he made everything clear for his team though when he hit the empty net.

    Shots on goal: Norway 12 (25) – Slovenia 8 (22)

    Players of the game: Lars Haugen (Norway) and Sabahudin Kovacevic (Slovenia).
