Stupid. At the 'end' of the timed game, they stopped it, and then started it up again.
CMD should have at least had a shot at a second final. Thumbs down to that. Poor decision.
Sorry, "correct" decision - but a slightly ridiculous way to work out the timing on sudden death.
Not the correct decision according to Euro rules.
"7. Overtime
7.1 – A game will go into overtime if it is a tied match on the elimination rounds.
7.2 – When the time runs out, the referee must announce the beginning of overtime by calling “golden goal”. 7.2.1 – The game continues into "extra time" without interruption."
During the elimination rounds where a winner must be determined and the match results in a tie at the end of regulation time, the game will be stopped. The match will enter “sudden death” overtime where the first team to score will be declared the winner. The ball will be reset at center court. Each team will return to their side and the referee will oversee another joust."

But apparently the NA ruleset is different:
"Overtime:
During the elimination rounds where a winner must be determined and the match results in a tie at the end of regulation time, the game will be stopped. The match will enter “sudden death” overtime where the first team to score will be declared the winner. The ball will be reset at center court.
