HERNING (AP) Captain Stine Bredal Oftedal (24) feared that she had broken the semifinals when she first goofed violently out, and so was expelled seconds later.
Thus, Norway was outnumbered when it mattered most to keep away, and the bench sat the captain completely rigid and tried not to think consequences.
– Had I ruined this, so I know not what I had done. When it had only been “Merry Christmas and thank you for me,” says Oftedal was perhaps the most celebrated of which all after Camilla Herrem had achieved 35-33 goal and sent Norway to the final.

Bredal Oftedal took the exhaust on the halfway line, but did not see the Romanian player who arrived at full speed and served opponent a giant chance. Gabriela Perianu charged through and reduced to 31-32 while Oftedal got two minute penalty in the attempt to rectify the mistake.
– I saw her simply do not, and I was supposed to calm down. So I threw the ball straight to her. That’s what happens, and she did it deliberately. Next time I see her, promising a relieved Oftedal.
