Noway won, but never impressed against Ukraine, which led with up to three goals. However, Norway turned the tide during the last 10 minutes before the end to win the match.

Top scorer for Norway: Håvard Tvedten with 8 goals.

Norway now moves on to the main round, where they will meet Denmark, Iceland and Austria.

They may be without their best defensive player, Stian Vatne, who left Saturday's match right after the break with a badly pulled muscle at the back of his right thigh.
