Eventually, USA comes out on top and will play Canada in Friday´s semifinal in Piestany. Finland will play Switzerland for 5th place. (17:42:58)
Sour moments for Finnish team, they are now falling apart. TROY TERRY fires a nice shot into the same spot as Boeser just a minute earlier. Assisted by Thomas Novak.
The result is getting very cruel for Finland. BROCK BOESER winds up in the offensive zone and fires his slap shot under the crossbar. Assisted by Erik Foley.
USA score two goals in 15 seconds. Jackson leads the puck down the right wing, sends a good cross-pass in front of the net and TROY TERRY has an easy job of scoring into the empty net. Assisted by Robert Jackson, Grant Gabriele.
Important moment. Tammela´s chance at one end is missed. USA go on a counter, DENNIS YAN comes out of the penalty box, moves forward and deflects Bachman´s shot right in front of Vehvilainen out of reach of the Finnish goalie. Assisted by Karch Bachman.
