Lebanon
Friday 02.06.2017, 12:30 • Small arena, Pardubice • World Cup (men) • Skupina B1
     
    Lebanon had a decent start to their first ever Worlds campaign. They took the lead in first period, but the Brits took advantage of their power play to make it even and turned the scoreline around with a shorthanded tally. The Lebanese fought hard to get the equalizer until the final horn, but they did not. It's three points for GB.

    Best players:
    Bassil Boulos (LEB)
    Scott Wright (GBR) (14:12:14)
     
    Game over.
     
    44:55
    M. A. Haber had one last chance with a slap shot from the slot, but Marchetti managed to get a piece of it and keep it away.
     
    44:51
    One of the Brits tried to score from his own zone, but missed. Icing.
     
    44:32
    Skaff is on bench and an extra attacker in for Lebanon!
     
    44:11
    Timeout for Lebanon.
     
    43:59
    Kristof had three huge chances on crease as the goalie was already down on floor and couldn't move because of his defenseman on crease. However, Kristof couldn't put the ball in not even with multiple chances.
     
    43:11
    Great PK from Lebanon so far. They almost got a shot on Marchetti.
     
    42:32
    Lebanon makes a clearance and send fresh players in.
     
    41:50
    Penalty for Lebanon (Charly Nasrallah – 2 min., Interference).
     
    41:25
    Graham dumped the ball on Skaff, but he quickly dropped it and passed on defenseman so the game can continue.
     
    40:23
    Great Britain is excellent in guarding their own blue line at the moment.
     
    39:00
    Good save by Skaff. The Lebanese keep on fighting.
     
    37:57
    The Brits are at full strength again.
     
    37:36
    Now Skaff couldn't get another long clearance before Bull reached it and it almost cost him.
     
    36:46
    Sabeh's crossing pass gets deflected out of bounds.
     
    36:29
    Skaff helped out his teammates with a long clearance from GB.
     
    35:45
    Penalty for Great Britain (Scott Ellard – 2 min., Slashing).
     
    35:21
    Ziade gets rejected on the crease by Johnson, who pushed him away from Marchetti.
     
    34:08
    Porubsky broke away, but Skaff made another decent save to turn him down. Then the British forward collided into the boards and it looks like he may have injured his hand. Hopefully not.
