ULLEVÅL (VG) (Norway 1-0 Wales) For 29 minutes it seemed that Norway had not played a national match in 196 days. Then Guro Reiten (26) tried his luck on a pole.
Incredibly, Norway had to take three corner kicks following the same pattern, without the Welshman ever counterattacking. The first two finished outside the goal, the third attempt by Guro Reiten went to the corner.
His tenth goal on the national team was simple. It was a post with the left foot, and it was a cruel mistake by the goalkeeper that sent Norway a hole in the boil.
This was the help Norway needed after the initial difficulties. Because it started badly in the qualifying rounds of the European Championship against Wales with losses of ugly balls, misalignments, poor precision, rhythm and stagnation on the field. At times, the pace has been higher during recovery training this week.

WINNING GOAL: Wales goalkeeper Laura O’Sullivan misses a single ball from Guro Reiten. That should be the goal that saved Norway tonight.
The second half started like the first, like a long yawn in which Wales had a couple of chances after further serious mistakes from Norway.
And when Caroline Graham Hansen tried on her own with a long shot that was on the net in the 60th minute, the refereeing team managed to cancel Lisa-Marie Utland for offside. She was not on the ball and was not getting in the way of the goalkeeper. Incomprehensible by the Slovak referee who annoyed the Norwegians for 90 minutes.
– I thought it was April Fool’s joke, but it wasn’t, says “Caro” about the cancellation.
– I don’t understand how the referee makes Lisa (Utland) ruin the goalkeeper’s goal. Not much should be said about the judge, but I must say that I do not agree with all the decisions.
“Caro” hurt
He had to deal with a left ankle injury before the 70 minutes had been played.
– I hope it went well and that it’s nothing, says the Barcelona player about the injury.
Norway had a goal difference of 32-1 before tonight’s match against Wales, lead the group and have full control of the European Championship berth in 2022.
Tonight it was difficult to enjoy more than three points.
Had Norway been a bit unlucky, Wales might as well have been punished just before the end when the ball bounced off Maren Mjelde’s hand.
The judge did not succeed either …
