We lost our first cup game against Romania. Small details which made a big difference, but we have the feeling that we did our best. It’s a privilege to play games at that level, a well-deserved privilege – it shows us what we need to do to compete against the better teams, it gives us motivation to reach higher.

In this game, we carried the ball a bit too often into the defense, but it also is a sign that we had possession – 90% is in place, we need to improve on tactical awareness, decision making especially under high pressure from the defense. And let’s not forget that Romania is a strong and well routined team.

Starting team: Karoline, Tonje, Ingrid, Karin, Ragnhild, Kari, Gina.

Subs: Rebekka, Susanne, Ellen came in during the game.

Next game at 13:37. We are now completing for the 5th to 8th place.
