Germany won the women's European Championships for a sixth consecutive time as Norway saw two penalties saved and another goal ruled out for offside in a narrow defeat in Solna, Sweden.
Anja Mittag got the goal for Germany when she capped a fine passing move in the 49th minute, but goalkeeper and captain Nadine Angerer was the hero as she saved a penalty in either half.
Norway knew it was not to be their day when they then saw Ada Hegerberg's strike ruled offside midway through the second half.
Germany had looked the most threatening side throughout. Celia Okoyino da Mbabi had two great openings within the space of two minutes, first scuffing a shot when it was laid on a plate by Nadine Kessler and then heading wide when she met Simone Laudehr's corner at the near post.
