• Norway – England 1-2 (0-0):
OTTAWA (Dagbladet): It went smoothly for one hour. So everything unraveled for the Norwegian football ladies.
England did drop into a battle Norway had ruled, and have put themselves in. It punished in the worst possible way. Two quick goals against English someone burned Norwegian chances changed everything in Ottawa.
While the English girls cheered for a historic victory, lay nitristw Norwegian girls knocked on kunsgresset on Landsdowne Arena.
Controlled everything
The Norwegian ladies are not so good to control football matches, it was said beforehand. After a quarter, Norway had had possession 59 percent – and managed it all right as well.
Because Lene Mykjåland flourished in ankerrrollen midfield.
Against England showed she really looking forward football understanding her, and directed one attack after another by varying his game constantly.
Sometimes she beat first touch, sometimes calmed her down and broke support, and sometimes forced her run itself. She was unpredictable and did it with the English defense unsafe.
And when she is not initiated anything offensively, she obstructed the English ladies from getting chances with an impressive defensive job.
– Lene has characterized much match. It looks pretty easy, but actually requires a fotballhue, said Tom Nordlie in NRK studio and hit the nail on the head.
Almost goals
Norway ruled the very, very most before the break. And of course, should the girls had reward in a goal.
Closest was Isabell Herlovsen after 12 minutes. A lovely entouch games from Mykjåland and Solveig Gulbrandsen sent her alone towards England keeper Karen Bardsley.
Herlovsen only got his toe on the ball, unable to lift it, and Bardsley got blocked.
Both Herlovsen itself, Ada Hegerberg and Kristine Minde had scoring opportunities before the break, but not on langtnær as large as the first.
England? Well småfarlige corner, but never came to any major opportunities.
Two quick
It was after the break that occurred in Ottawa last night.
First we had captain Trine Rønning say thank you for taking the break. Injury nightmare continues her. Maria Thorirsdottir acquired defender job.
So there was a bang!
Solveig Gulbrandsen back-headed a Mykjåland corner on to the crossbar and into the quarter-hour!
Where and when was Norway in both the quarterfinals and the Olympics.
It would unfortunately not care. England responded in kind rather immediately when Laura Basset won a duel against Skammelsrud Lund after a corner and heads England to tie the game and new excitement.
then and there was not the Norwegian defense game in the World Cup class.
Got severely punished
In the English goal could not longer the Norwegian girls to keep the same pace and lost more and more the initiative in the game. England came on several dangerous raids. Ballerobringene Norway led the fight on before the break was less frequently. It was more hunting.
And the punishment came!
Ingrid Moe Wold lost a challenge on the left, the ball ended up with Lucy Bronze, which snogging the crossbar from 18 meters, utagbart for Ingrid Hjelmseth .
Before that Ada Hegerberg had a good opportunity but shot straight at the English keeper.
Olympic hoped liver
Judging from what happened during the first hour in Ottawa, Norway had deserved to win this battle. But as long as players do not score at obvious odds and let the opponent slip into a fight they basically atm on, it went as it tends to do.
It was a miserable loss and untimely repatriation by the Norwegian girls taste.
The only consolation – if there is any – is that Olympic hope is still not dead. About Switzerland loser as expected against Japan on Tuesday evening, there will be replay on an Olympic place between Norway, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Sweden.
