It is rare that referees use two video replays in the last 11 seconds of the match. First, they analysed a foul by Martin Hovde, who received two minutes, followed by a Spanish free-throw. Then the very last second was analysed, when Spain were in ball possession but the time was over. The result: no final attack for Spain, and a win for Norway.
The frantic end to the match followed two completely different halves, not in terms of the result, but in terms of the style of playing. In the first 20 minutes the match went back and forth, with goals on both sides almost every 20 seconds. It was a high-speed spectacle, but in full speed both caused many mistakes.
When Spain and Norway decelerated after the break, it became a defence-oriented battle with much longer attacks. Spain played extremely patiently, searching for the gaps, as Norway waited for steals, which they finally managed to use to get ahead and win.
