On the contrary, the Austrians celebrated two minutes later, Heinrich scored in the power play from the blue line. The referees also checked his shot at the video, as the Norwegians used a coaching call to complain about Schneider’s attack on goalkeeper Haukeland.

Instead of canceling the goal, the Norwegians received a two-minute penalty, but even that eventually helped them – Rosseli Olsen weakened and escaped. The situation did not change with the further expulsion of the Norwegians, and it was similar with the punishments of the Austrians Schwinger and Thomas Raffl.

Hag’s spotted shot bounced off Kickert’s back from Röymark’s skate.

Although Rosseli Olsen’s penalty shortened the long overtime, Schneider was also guilty, and the Norwegians increased in a overtime of five against three thanks to Rosseli Olsen’s second goal in the match.
