Match report
------------
An early goal by Iversen settled the outcome of this game, and improved
Norway's chances of qualifying for Euro2000. Georgia defended very deeply
which made it difficult for the home team to create clear chances.
However, Iversen should have added another goal in the the second half,
but his free header went just over the crossbar, when it looked easier
to score.

Georgia's best (and only) opportunity to score came from a Ketsbaia long range
shot, which was well save by Olsen. The Norwegian goalkeeper had to step in
due to an injury to Myhre, in the preparation for the game.

Next game for Norway is away to Albania. Leonhardsen has already withdrawn 
from the squad as he doesn't feel comfortable playing in a country so close
to the Kosovo region.
