In the afternoon two challenges: the first in which the Czech Republic took a single bite from Germany, winning 4-1 At the end of a match he dominated thanks to the goals of Pasternak and Cervenka in the first half, and Craigsey and Smical, in the second and third time, the 1-3 Teutonic moment was punctuated by Seder.
And the second instead, Canada’s 4-3 overtime victory over Sweden. A game full of pathos between North Americans and Scandinavians. At first the Swedes go 3-0, with Kleinberg, Nylander and Freiberg: but since the middle of the second period things have changed. The Canadians reacted with a compliment, all in the third set: Greaves, Dubois and a minute later the 3-3 game with Barzal left. Sweden climbed onto the pitch and lost 4-3 in overtime as a result of Patterson’s goal.

On the other hand, hosts Finland used some significant extra energy to get it right, in Slovakia’s 4-2 comeback. The guest brand: Sykora and Regenda started the match 0-2, but before the break it became 1-2 with the goal of Antilla. The Finns cling to the hope that it becomes more realistic to start the game.
