Norway v Uganda
Norway (5) v Uganda (4)
Norway have proved a surprise package during this tournament, playing attractive football that has betrayed their standing as 47th out of 48 teams in the world rankings. They proved tough opponents for 21st in the world Uganda, and opened the scoring after 30 seconds. Uganda pulled one back and then went 2-1 up after Norway narrowly missed a chance to go ahead with a penalty. 30 seconds from half time the Norwegian number 10 made the score 2-2, to cap off a fast paced and entertaining first half of street soccer here in Copenhagen.
Norway were soon 5-2 up thanks to 2 great goals from their number 4 and another from the number 3. The Ugandan goalie had to be on top of his game to prevent Norway extending their lead, and the outfield players worked equally hard to pull 2 back going into the final minute of the game. Both teams dug deep to make the final minute a tense ending to the match, but it was Norway who claimed the win today to continue their admirable showing in this year's competition.
