Aloneftis shot, save Jarstein and he hangs on for no rebound.

[Omonoia9]

Aloneftis, great run, down in the box! Yellow against Aloneftis for diving!

[Omonoia9]

Cross for Abdellaoue, he can't get it, Hogli gets a shot, SAVE GIORGALLIDIS! I think if Abdellaoue gets to that, Norway would be up 1-0.

[Omonoia9]

Yellow card for Laban
