At first the teams scored two goals, then the Norwegians took a 9-2 series. Meanwhile, French federal captain Olivier Krumbholz called for time, but his opponent also played handball with greater precision in both attack and defense, thus leading confidently by four strokes during the break.
The Frenchman switched the goalkeeper and Cleopatre Darleux put on a brilliant performance with six defenders in ten minutes, on the basis of which his team first reached, then tied and even took the lead in the 54th minute, after 4-3. The Norwegian, who underperformed for a significant part of the second half, finished the final with a 4-1 series, winning the tournament with a 100 percent performance.
The French contested the final of the European Championship for the second time, succeeding last year, but this year they were unable to defend their title. The Norwegians had their eleventh final of the continental tournament and their eighth gold medal.
