14:15
In a few minutes Austria and Sweden will decide between themselves who will take fifth place.
Previously, Austria took third place in the main round group, behind Portugal and Spain, and then beat Norway with an excellent performance in the first 5-8 cross match (30:22).
Sweden also occupied third place in their respective group before outplaying Iceland two days ago.
13:43
Norway's Patrick Anderson ended the game with 11 goals, which means Óli Mittún of the Faroe Islands will be crowned tournament's top scorer with 76 goals. Anderson fell just short with 70.
Spanish and Portuguese could overtake Mittún in theory, but the closest one to him is Spain's Victor Romero on 46 goals. There's also Sweden's Axel Månsson on 44. Sweden play Austria for fifth place next up from 14:20.
13:39 | FULL-TIME
Iceland stop their run of three straight losses and finish the tournament with a sweet victory over Norway. Moreover, it's only their third win of the competition, having previously beaten only Ukraine and Poland in the opening two days.
Iceland therefore take seventh place, while Norway finish eighth and with a fourth straight defeat. Goalkeeper Árnason was phenomenal in the second half, concluding the match with eight saves in total. Offensively, Stefánsson, Erlingsson and Haraldsson combined for 25 goals.
13:32 | FULL-TIME
Croatia celebrate their fourth win of the competition in comprehensive fashion, thus earning 11th place.
Hungary simply could not handle them today, even though they beat the Croats six days ago in the main round. Niko Frankovic scored seven goals and Tin Herceg saved 11 shots for the winners.
13:27
Final seven minutes in Arena Zlatorog and Iceland are still in front, but only by a goal, 27:26. Solheim's just wasted a chance to level the match, that was a terrific save from Árnason!
13:23
Here's a fun fact from this game: Isak Steinsson, Iceland's goalkeeper, holds Norwegian citizenship as well. He's lived in Norway most of his life, but eventually chose to play for Iceland.
Steinsson has recently signed for Drammen where he will play alongside Norway's goalkeeper at this competition Oscar Syvertsen.
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
