    Austria gained the big surprise against the favourites from Slovakia and beat them in shootout to go past Germany with now 5 points. For Slovakia this is another big disappointment after the loss against Latvia yesterday!
     
    Game over.
     
    THOMAS VANEK scored the decisive penalty for the Austrian win in shootout!
     
    The last Slovakian shooter is stopped by Starkbaum!
     
    Thomas Vanek gets the puck past Stana and fires it into the right corner – the lead for Austria!
     
    Tomas Zaborsky tried to get the puck through the five hole but Starkbaum had his pads in between.
     
    Michael Rafl tried to deke out Stana but the angle became too sharp and he only hit the side netting.
     
    Bliznak starts the shootout for Slovakia. He tried it with an early shot towards the right top corner but Starkbaum blocked the shot wide.
     
    Start of shootout.
     
    The Slovakians are the favourites for the shootout but if they can make it, we'll see soon.
