As the withdrawal of Denmark after their second match left four teams in the competition, the remaining five group matches were scratched: '''Sweden''' and '''Italy''' qualified for the final, while '''Portugal''' and '''Norway''' qualified for the third place match.

==Third place match== Originally, it was planned that the teams finishing third to fifth would play each other in a round-robin of 45-minute matches.

However, following the withdrawal of Denmark, this was scratched and a full-length third place match was played.
