19 seconds before the end of the match, the Norwegians were leading 25:24 and had the opportunity to seal the victory with another goal. The Spaniards successfully made it difficult for them to carry out the action. The leaders passed the ball for a long time and as a result the referees decided to take it away from them. The rivals made excellent use of the remaining 5 seconds of the meeting and carried out a quick, effective action. Daniel Dujshebaev scored the equalizer and extra time.
