But the danes ' attacking lacked quality, and it ended up being crucial.

B. T. s håndboldkommentator, Søren Pac, has given the Danish players grades for the fight. You can see below.

If Sandra Toft gangs a little over teammates when she goes to bed in the evening, so it is understandable. Yet another great performance by the målvogteren - but it was not enough, because the Danish attack was without weight. the Rating: 8

Not on the field. the Character: UB

the Defence did Anne Mette Hansen it really well, but in offensive it was an offday for the Danish star. Two goals on seven attempts and more technical flaws are simply too bad. the Character: 4

Translated probably a kontraforsøg to the scoring, but burned the one opportunity she got from the wing in the established attacking. The second half she spent on the bench. the Rating: 5

Came on the field in the second half, and the defense went 'the bear', as she was baptized by a ligatræner, and gave out plenty of beatings for the Norwegian players. Angrebsmæssigt she had not put the big images. the Rating: 6

Came on the field in the period, where the Danish game collapsed completely. Bagspilleren was never really into the fight. the Rating: 5

Was put on the track from the second half start. However, it was not a success. Lark Nolsøe burned the two options, she came up with. the Character: 4

The Danish styrkvinde in the defense played a great match, and she can't be blamed, the other danes missed the great in the offensive. the Rating: 8

As so often before, it was a mixed round from the Lotte Grigel. She is noted for four scores in four attempts, but there were still too many errors from Grigels hand. the Rating: 6

In the last half of the first half, lost to Louise Burgaard complete head, took a sea of bad decisions, made hopeless mistakes, and was instrumental in the Norway grabbed taktstokkken in the fight. the Character: 2

Yet another good performance from the Danish bagspiller, which was a big dynamo in the Danish attack in the second half. Without her Denmark had not been able to hang on for so long. the Rating: 8

Sarah Iversen seems to have established itself as the Danish first choice on the line. Defensively, she did it firmly, and in the attack she made mistakes but also scored three times on three attempts. the Character: 7

Not on the field. the Character: UB

Stregspilleren made it solid in defense in those minutes, she got on the track. Her lack of kampform, however, has sent her down in the Klavs Bruun's hierarchy. the Character: 7

the Captain made a terrible indhop in the middle of the first half, which had great influence on magtskiftet in the fight. Self-confidence from France-the fight was gone, and her huge uncertainty rubbed off on teammates. the Character: 2

The Danish right wing netted twice in three attempts and did it wisely in defense. the Rating: 6

the national coach has to be commended for having put the team excellent up to the start of the match. But he must also have criticism for failing to take something earlier, since the Danish game began to fall apart. the Rating: 6
