26'
Diala's injury is a thing of the past. The Striker runs down the left flank before crossing for Vania who fails to keep her half-volley down and it sails high and wide.
25'
The ball is being passed around the centre of the pitch. Both teams struggle to keep possession.
24'
The Scandinavians then opt to shoot long. Trine Ronning takes on a volley but perhaps should have taken a touch, it hits Row T, at least.
23'
The resulting corner from the Christelle shot is punched clear. Anonma then sends in a right-footed cross but it is too long.
22'
Diala goes down, but not under any challenge. The stretcher is on but she is able to continue.

Do you think they practise their shooting in training? Christelle then has a pop from 25 yards and Hjelmseth has to be on her toes to dive to her right and put it out for a corner. The Norwegian goalkeeper is clearly not happy at the amount of shots she is having at her.
20'
They're playing very well, the Nzalang Nacional. Diala attempts another long-ranger but it is straight at Hjelmseth.

The Equatoguineans nearly take the lead again. A mix-up in the Norwegian box allows the left-back Dulcia to take a shot. Mjelde recovers well to get the block in.
18'

Christelle plays a lobbed through ball over the top for Diala but the African is ruled offside.
17'
The resulting corner is far too near the goalkeeper and she collects it with ease.
16'

Another long-range effort. This time it nearly flies in though. Jumaria collects the ball about 35 yards out and has a right-footed drive towards the top corner, Hjelmseth has to tip it around the post
15'
The Norewgian's go long. And it causes a little havoc in the African's penalty area as Ana Cristina dwells on the ball. Haavi then fould her to relieve a little pressure.
14'
The Equatoguineans seemed to have settled. They are passing the ball around with some fluidity at the minute.
13'
The crowd go wild as the green-and-black stripy haired star dances over the ball before nut-megging her opponent.
12'

Moments later though, the African's are nearly ahead. Anonma bursts into the Norwegian box and after taking on Maren Mjelde, she pulls the ball back but it is cleared.
11'
Another wild, wild shot. This time from captain Anonma. She's 40, maybe 45 yards out and attempts an outrageous volley. It nearly goes for a throw-in.
10'
The Lions' defence are given a minute's break as the ball is being passed around the centre circle.
9'
The way this match is going, the African's will do very, very well to get anything out of the game. It's all Norway.

What a miss! Norway pass their way through their opposition's defence and the ball falls to Isabell Herlovsen. The Norewgian is 8 yards out with only the goalkeeper to beat but she clears the bar.
7'
Norway get another corner and again Miriam gets nowhere near it. This 'keeper does not look too comfortable at the minute.
6'
The Equatoguineans pass the ball neatly out of their own half, quite promisingly, but Jumaria attempts another wild shot and it flies wide.
