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.
