Dagbladet concludes their assessment that left winger Mia Hundvin, together with keeper Heidi Tjugum, were the best Norwegian players against Romania. Newspaper extracts about Mia Hundvin’s contribution:
This is the way we want her: To not be tricked on defence, aggressive in attacks and self-confident in scoring, both alone with the goalkeeper and from the wing. She scored six goals out of seven attempts - two from the left wing and four (in four attempts) after speeding in alone against the goalkeeper. This represents Mia-effectiveness more than anything.
