Norway vs Russia 34:17 (15:8)
In what was set to be a battle of defences pre-match, Russia showed little of theirs with their goal net constantly being bothered throughout the 60 minutes as Norway went on a scoring rampage - seven up at the break (15:8) and then into a double-figure lead for the first time five minutes into the second half (19:9 - 35th minute).
Such was their rate of scoring and tough defence, that Norway coach Thorir Hergeirsson took a time out in the 17th minute when his side had let an 8:2 lead go down to 8:5. But they soon stormed back, with nine players in total scoring, including a combination of 17 goals between Nora Mork and Stine Oftedal, whose performance earned her the player of the match award.
While the result and performance go some way to overcoming the disappointment of losing to the Russians in their Rio 2016 Olympic Games semi-final clash, Norway now face a Netherlands team looking to finally break their losing record as they go head-to-head in two days in the semi-finals.
“I am very pleased with the attitude of the players - the defence and the goalkeepers were very strong today,” said Norway coach Thorir Hergeirsson. “These [performances] made the match maybe one of the best games since I came along many years ago. It was fantastic.
“But in handball we will only be able to celebrate tonight and then work hard tomorrow to find out how to beat Netherlands, because they’re a good team.”
One of his goalkeepers who performed at a high level was Kari Aalvik Grimsbo who was also full of smiles in the post-match press conference. “We are very happy today,” she said. “We played very well and got stronger and stronger. We fought from the beginning and did everything we talked about beforehand. We had a very good preparation and fought as a team all the way.”
“We had a tough opponent with Russia,” she continued. “We were very excited and nervous, but in the end, we succeeded.”
“Today was an awful game for our team,” said Russia coach Evegeny Trefilov. “We were bad in the defence but also in attack.” Goalkeeper Elena Utkina agreed with her coach, saying simply: “It was a bad game for us today.”
