Completed a few minutes toTo Day 5 of the 2022 Ice Hockey World Cup. Let’s see how they went to Group A in Group B in this first stage.

Group A
Great Italy was not enough. Indeed, the Azzurri lost 2-1 to Denmark, at the end of a tense and nervous match, in which the Blues almost failed to turn over. Alex Petain scored the goal of the Eilers in the first half, while the decisive goal was scored by Matthias Bau, in the opening and decisive third period. On the other hand, in the other scheduled match, Switzerland beat Kazakhstan – even if they suffered a lot, as evidenced by the first period that ended in a 0-0 draw – with a 3-2 victory, thanks to goals from Malges and Simeon. And Herzog, with the latter unsuccessfully making the intraday 2-1 Kazakhstan from Blacker.

group b
Austria signed a coup today by beating the Czech Republic 2-1. Believing that the Austrians had fallen too, collected Cervenka’s goal, but then woke up with the reaction of Leppler’s goal, with time practically out and in an “empty net” state, he asserts himself to penalties with Schinder’s winning turn. On the other hand, it was easier for Sweden to manage the training against Great Britain from the start, when Asplund scored (twice), won 6-0, and renewed his place in the pool of candidates for the final stage.
