Match report
------------
A much better display from Norway in this game than in the defeat
against South Korea. The result was a well deserved win, and some
fine goals too. Solbakken even missed a penalty. Still, he was one
of Norway's best players along with Eggen in defence and Mykland
in midfield. The biggest impact, though, was made by Skammelsrud 
who replaced Johansen in the second half. The RBK player scored
the first goal on an excellent long distance shot, and was responsible
for the cross which was turned in by Zoricich for an own goal. The
last goal was scored by Håvard Flo, after a fine through-ball by
Solbakken. The last game in Australia is against the home country
on Saturday. A win in that game and Norway will most probably win
the whole tournament.
