There's the final buzzer, and Slovakia have claimed their second win of the tournament with an emphatic 4-1 triumph over Italy! They were by far the better side and thoroughly deserve the three points. Marek Daloga, Marek Viedensky, Tomas Tatar and Michel Miklik all got on the scoreboard for the Slovakians with only Alexander Egger replying for the Italians. Thanks for following our coverage with us today, and see you again soon for more thrilling action from the 2014 IIHF World Championships!

Laco! What a simply stunning save from Jan Laco! A hard wrister from the high slot is deflected deftly right in front of Jan Laco, but he flashes leather beautifully! Wow!
|
|
|
58:35

|

Diego Kostner with bodies closing him down cutting into the crease wrists from a tight angle, and Jan Laco comfortably takes it in stick side

Despite that penalty miss the Slovaks are already back to full strength
|
|
|
54:40
|
Tomas Tatar skates in, waits for the goalkeeper to commit but he takes too long shooting and he can't get the puck out from under his stick! We play on at 4-1!
|

|
54:40
|
Tomas Tatar is chopped down as he was racing away one on one shorthanded and it's a penalty shot!

|
Andrej Stastny for hooking has been called giving the Italians a powerplay to give themselves a bit of confidence
|

|
52:41
|
Diego Kostner skating with conviction down the right looks to pick out a teammate racing in down the middle, but he over cooks his pass!

Slovakia look to be seeing the game out reasonably comfortably now, although it didn't turn out to be such an easy game as it appeared it would have been
|
|
|
50:47
|
Nicoletti! Italy manage to keep the puck deep in the Slovakian zone, it eventually pops out to Davide Nicoletti who's blast from the right faceoff circle is blocked heroically by a covering defender! Despite the score you can bet that Italy won't give up!
