21:27
First degree of Northern Ireland. Laura Wade comes to the ball from the inside right on the edge of the box and tries a low shot. But it goes quite clearly to the right of the goal.
26
21:25
Since the 1:0 it’s a game on one goal. Norway live up to their role as favorites and create chance after chance. Northern Ireland can hardly get out of the back and can do nothing against the star squad.

Maanum on the second row! The scorer to make it 2-0 tries a shot from twenty yards into the left corner. But Burns goes very long and fends off the corner. It brings nothing.

Almost the third goal! The Norwegians combine themselves with a great short passing game through to the penalty area. Hegerberg plays Eikeland there and closes from the half-left position. She shoots the goalkeeper and the chance is lost. There would have been more.

The favorites take the lead! After a throw-in from the right, Reit gets the ball in the center. She pulls flat from 14 meters and half-left position and hits the short corner. Goalkeeper Burns doesn’t look good.
