13:17
Goal number 11 for Patrick Anderson. He needs six more to tie Óli Mittún. He could catch him, in theory. In practice? I'm not so sure. He's got time though, but it would take a miracle if we're honest.
13:15
Valsson is seriously finding his range from outside and his another goal propels Iceland three goals ahead, once again. Timeout Norway, 27:24 to Iceland. Almost 13 minutes left in this match.
In Golovec Croatia are closing in on 11th place, they've left Hungary nine goals behind (24:15).
13:11
Iceland have fully recovered after they had dropped behind. Now they even retake the lead thanks to Valsson's goal (24:23).
13:08
Great strike from Franković to hand Croatia their new biggest advantage, 20:13.
13:04
Second half has of course resumed in Golovec as well. Croatia lead Hungary by four (17:13).
13:00
Incredible energy from Norway's Jonas Johansson-Kjellerød, who's celebrating every good defensive play so loudly and emotionally. His teammates follow the pattern and it's paying off.
12:58
Norway have come back from the locker rooms like a different team. From two goals down they're down two goals up after another strike from Anderson, 21:19. Norway's right back grabs his ninth goal.
12:53
We're back in Zlatorog Arena and immediately in the first attack Norway cut Iceland's lead to a single goal (18:17). Olseth the scorer.
12:38 | HALF-TIME
A couple of suspensions from Norway turned the score in Iceland's favour again. Birkir Steinsson put Iceland three goals up, but in the last seconds Anderson converted the penalty shot for his eighth goal of the match.
Reynir Stéfansson leading the Icelanders with seven goals.
Hungary started off well (2:0), but soon after suffered from many two-minute suspensions, four in total in that first half. Croatia's goalkeeper Herceg was in good form early on and helped his team establish dominance. Lencovic's goal just before the break marked Croatia's biggest lead.
12:26
Here's Anderson's seventh goa,l from the penalty shot. A 3-0 run from Norway to level the score (14:14).
12:25
Already four two-minute suspensions for Hungary, would you believe it. Croatia with just the one, and they're still in front 10:7.
12:17
Tin Herceg in goal is helping Croatia develop a 7:4 lead, while Iceland have now took a 12:10 lead, their biggest so far. Their goalkeeper Steinsson also impressing there by saving Anderson's clear-cut chance on the fast break.
12:13
Five goals already from Patrick Anderson, however he still needs 12 to tie Óli Mittún's tally. Surely it's too big of a task, is it?
12:10
Norway and Iceland are playing freely, fluently, with a lot of goals. The score is tied 9:9 and we've just entered 11th minute.
Croatia and Hungary, well, that's a different kind of game. Both teams have already had two-minute suspensions and the score is 4:3 to the Croats.
12:06
First goal from Norway's Patrick Anderson, second scorer in the tournament's charts, behind Óli Mittún. That was Anderson's 60th goal of the tournament, he's still 16 behind Mittún.
Meanwhile, we've seen 10 goals already in this game, the score is 5:5.
12:00
Here we go, first possession to Iceland. Both sets of fans are also present in the stands, as they have been throughout the week.
11:53
Norway had a super start of the main round, beating Sweden 37:34, but then lost to Germany and Denmark and therefore finished fourth in the standings. In the first 5-8 cross match they fell to Austria as well.
On the other hand, Iceland also finished bottom in their main round group, after drawing with Portugal and losing to Austria and Spain. In their previous appearance they lost to Sweden.
So, both Norway and Iceland have suffered three straight defeats and surely they want to leave Celje with a victory.
11:45
