Peter Orry Larsen's long-distance effort deep into added time earned Norway a point in 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship Group 7 against a Slovakian side who faded after a strong first-half showing.

Villian to hero
The visitors took a 26th-minute lead when Jakub Sylvester prodded in, an advantage which they held until eight minutes into the second period when Jo Inge Berget tucked away a penalty after he was hauled down by Martin Juhar. Juhar then redeemed himself with a sweetly struck shot from the edge of the penalty area with a quarter of an hour remaining but, just when it looked like the visitors would return home with all three points, Orry Larsen struck.
