Larvik had control in most of the match, had 5:1 during the first half, but went with only 11:10 at halftime. In the second half the same picture repeated, they controlled the game and had at times 20:16 and 23:21, then Itxako managed to take control and have 24:23 few minutes before the end. Then Larvik calls a time-out and they score perhaps the decisive goal for 24:24 just a minute before the end. Itxako however managed to score one more goal, to consolate themself with at least a victory at home, 25:24.
