    Goal for Team Finland! The game may be in it's final minutes but Finland aren't taking their foot off the gas. Great work by Antti Kalapudas sets up MIKKO RANTANEN who was lurking in the slot, and the TPS Turku forward made no mistake firing the puck into the top corner

    Goal for Team Slovakia! Finally the home fans have something to cheer about. After Hopponen's chance, Slovakia take the puck up the other end and Adrian Holesinsky tucks it away. Originally Kahkonen thought he had it, but the puck ends up trickling over the line.
