    ITA – Colin DiGiacomo
    POR – Matthew David (20:37:53)
     
    Italy had its moments, but Portugal was definitely in control of this game for the most part and they win easily. They get their first 3 points and finish 4th in Group A2.
     
    Game over.
     
    43:49
    Penalty for Italy (Peragine – 2 min., Interference).
     
    43:06
    Penalty for Italy (Bernardo – 2 min., Interference).
    40:25 C. Creador (POR) - 1:6
     
    40:25
    Goal for Team Portugal!
    And another one just 49 seconds after the last one. Fantastic individual effort from captain CHRIS CREADOR, who fought off a check in the corner, cut to the front of the net and tucked the ball between the pads of Campusano.
    Unassisted.
     
    39:36
    Goal for Team Portugal!
    They restore their 4-goal lead just 43 seconds later, as RICARDO PIRES gets his third point of the game.
    Assist: Matthew David.
    38:53 Fiore (ITA) - 1:4
     
    38:53
    Goal for Team Italy!
    On their third straight power play chance they finally score. Cruz stops the initial shot but it bounces off the foot of ALBERTO FIORE, who was stationed in front.
    Assists: Michael Verrelli, Tanner Pagendam.
     
    38:45
    Bench minor penalty to Portugal (2 min., Too many players on the rink).

    Third straight penalty to Portugal this period.
     
    37:33
    Italians pressing hard on the power play, Verrelli's shot is deflected out by an Italian stick so the faceoff is outside with :47 left in the power play.
     
    36:20
    Penalty for Portugal (Cabral – 2 min., Slashing).
     
    35:10
    Portugal back at full strength and they go to the attack.
     
    34:03
    The Italians put the ball in the net but the goalpost had moved first, so the referee called no goal. However, the Italians are arguing that it should count because the goalie moved it himself. Nonetheless, it's no goal.
     
    33:06
    Penalty for Portugal (MacBeth – 2 min., Hooking).
     
    30:01
    Start of 3rd period.
     
    Trailing 2-0, Italy put on good pressure the first half of that second period and if they'd managed to score, they would have been right back in the game. Justin Cruz was solid in the Portuguese goal, however. Two late Portuguese goals have essentially put this one away.

    3rd period begins at 20:14 CEST.
     
    30:00
    2nd period finished.
    29:25 David (POR) - 0:4
