Finland should be proud of that performance despite the loss. They dominated the ball for significant periods and made things incredibly difficult for Norway. Marko Saloranta and his players were unlucky to come away from that with nothing.
That was another unconvincing performance from Norway, but they won’t really care. They were disjointed at times – and in important areas of the pitch. However, the personnel in their team proved to make the difference in the end. The individual brilliance of Caroline Graham Hansen gave Norway that final push to victory.

90+3 min: Finland have a corner and Koivunen makes her way up the pitch. The ball is crossed in and headed away. All of a sudden, the goalkeeper finds herself on the left wing and looks to make a cross, but it’s intercepted.
90+2 min: Another substitution for Norway as Hegerberg makes way for Karina Sævik.
90+1 min: Four minutes have been added on.

87 min: Norway make a change as goalscorer and potential match-winner Graham Hansen is replaced by Celin Bizet.
85 min: Graham Hansen receives the ball on the right before skipping through two Finland players. She then works her way into the box, making her way past another two before turning and firing the ball into the top-right corner, off the post and in! Wow!

82 min: Gaupset picks up the ball on the left before squaring a low cross to Graham Hansen in the box. The winger has plenty of time and space to take a touch and tee up a shot, but her strike flies over the crossbar!
She knows she should have scored there! That could come back to haunt Norway.
80 min: Graham Hansen sends a cross into the box. It takes a deflection before falling out to Reiten, who attempts an audacious overhead kick, forcing a save from Koivunen. Norway’s best chance of this half by far.
78 min: A cross is sent over to Graham Hansen on the right side of the box. She looks to make her way past Tynnilä but the Finland defender can make the block.
76 min: Norway have a free kick in the defensive third following a foul on Reiten from Summanen.
73 min: Another two changes for Finland as Koivisto is replaced by Nea Lehtola and Sällström makes way for Jutta Rantala.
71 min: Norway have a corner and Lund steps up to take it. She fires the ball into the box and Koivunen does well to come off her line and punch away.
68 min: Finland completely rip the Norway defence apart with a few passes before the ball is played through to Sällström in the box. The forward turns and shoots, but blasts her effort wide! A huge opportunity missed.
64 min: Finland break forward again as Sällström is sent down the right in acres of space. She makes the cross, but two white shirts narrowly miss the final finish!
63 min: Huge chance for Finland! Summanen receives the ball from Koivisto just outside the box. The Tottenham star goes for goal, directing her shot towards the bottom-left corner, but Fiskerstrand makes a brilliant save!
62 min: Finland make a change as Öling is replaced by Sanni Franssi.
61 min: Koivisto makes her way down the right before crossing the ball into the box. Engen is there to make the block before a team-mate can clear the danger.
60 min: Half an hour of normal time to play and Marko Saloranta looks to be preparing his first substitution.
57 min: Kosola receives the ball and drifts inside, making her way to the edge of the penalty area before going for goal. Her effort is on target and forces a strong save from Fiskerstrand.
53 min: Engen plays a long pass over the Finland defence and through to Gaupset, who looks to bring it down before squaring the ball across goal. However, none of her team-mates are there to meet the cross.
51 min: Norway have a corner and the ball is sent straight into the six-yard box. Engen is there, marking Koivunen, but she gives away a foul on the goalkeeper.
50 min: Norway look to creep into the box from the right but the final pass in is cut out and Finland can make the clearance.
47 min: Hegerberg looks to play a one-two with Gaupset on the edge of the box, but the final ball is intercepted and cleared away.
46 min: Norway made two changes at the break, with Signe Gaupset replacing Maanum and Lisa Naalsund on for Bøe Risa.
ShareKICK-OFF: Norway 1-1 Finland
We’re back under way!
Peter Oh says:
“For a summary of fan reaction to that Finland equaliser, please see the first two letters of Oona.”
Adam messaged in just before kick-off to say:
“Very much looking forward to this one; Norway navigating this apparent mental block after a thoroughly unconvincing win over the Swiss will be fascinating to see. I don’t really give Finland a prayer…but just imagine if they take the lead.
“Do you know what happened with Norway’s numbers? I don’t understand how such an illegible font got onto those otherwise lovely kits!”
I can confirm that those Norway kit numbers are incredibly hard to read from afar!

45+1: Just the one minute added on.
45 min: Finland are running rings around Norway in that final third…
43 min: The ball is played to Öling, who makes a run into the box while picking up possession. She goes for goal but drags her shot wide.
41 min: Norway do not look like they are playing for a place in the quarter-finals. Everything just seems sloppy. Finland appear to be putting in more effort across the pitch. This isn’t good enough from Gemma Grainger’s team.
39 min: Sevenius carries the ball forward through the middle before cutting onto her right and going for goal, but her effort is off-target.
