Match report ------------ - A very poor and boring game with Norway playing well for the first 15 minutes of each half when the Georgians were pressed backwards. For the rest of the game the visitors had most of the posession and could actually have scored on some occations. The game looked destined to finish 0-0 when Solskjær was fouled in the penalty area and Solbakken converted from the spot. That was more than Norway deserved. A draw would have been a fairer reflection of the game.
