Norway must turn his attention to the future after failing to perform the miracle must have given them the opportunity of the Euro 2012 qualifying.
Egil Olsen `s men began to knowing only a victory and the defeat of Portugal in Denmark, and a swing of nine goals between them, allow them to make the play-offs.
And while it was never really a realistic option, fast in the first half with goals from Morten Gamst Pedersen and John Carew - along with Denmark is ahead in the North Sea - meant there was a glimmer of hope.
However, Yiannis Okkas scored for Cyprus and, although Tom Høgli Norway `s restored two-goal cushion, the doors never opened Olsen and veteran leader was left to reflect on a failed campaign.
The former Wimbledon manager was admitted to the accumulation of qualification that was impossible and that the country must begin planning for the 2014 World Cup, but considering that he still had a chance at the kick-off, putting in the game was amazing work.
With the objectives of a need, which led them to 18 minutes to get an effort on target - Kjetil Wæhler Tasos work Kisses from the edge of the area.
Carew then tried to make an impact, the guardian of working 12 feet before he forced Kisses on a flight unless he put his head to Høgli `s Cross.
John Arne Riise back corner was fierce and took that Kiss claw over his bar, and the next delivery saw Carew work APOEL number one again with another header.
The pressure on Cyprus was the target of intense now, and as expected was said in the 25th minute. Espen Ruud `s Corner Pedersen found and headed in his goal 16.
One quickly became two, with Carew finally found his range with his head, converting Høgli `s cross with a goal of 24 for his country, going to clean up in fourth place in Norway` s all-time list.
Yianni Okkas threw a spanner in the Norwegian four minutes before the break, however, pulling a goal for small fish, when he said from inside the area. It was the 26th goal for Cyprus `Okkas, leading to a period of six national record.
Pedersen did not come out for the second half due to injury, and Cyprus almost equalized in the 50th minute when a shot was `s Sinisa Dobrasinovic Høgli scrambled clear.
Andreas Avraam jars Rune Almenning then worked as revealed hopes of Norway `s thin vanished.
Okkas also may have stabilized, but news of Portugal goes after filtering through two men Olsen `s has a second wind.
Erik Huseklepp Høgli slipped a pass to, and he did the rest, networks maiden international goal.
The game became a craze after that, and Christian Grindheim Anthos Solomou long-term marketing efforts before Kisses again stood out as he hurried to follow and Huseklepp Carew.
Huseklepp has made a positive impression in the English Championship side Portsmouth this season and was involved again soon after, place of departure, Jonathan Parr, whose effort was blocked by Merkis Giorgis.
However, the game was over for Norway, and stayed out of ideas and time.
