    59:54
    Goal for Team France!
    But this time it was much better and Team France is going for it first victory! MARION ALLEMOZ hit the empty net from the red line and now it is pretty clear! No assist.
     
    59:46
    France missed the empty net!
     
    58:57
    The Slovaks are playing with an empty net 5 on 4. Now or never!
     
    58:57
    Team out for Team Slovakia.
     
    58:07
    Velickova and Locatelli – both 2 minutes penalty for roughing. Teams playing four on four.
     
    58:07
    Martina Velickova was the most active one in the rush, but Baldin still holds the lead for her team!
     
    57:05
    Shot wide by Ihnatova in good position.
     
    56:36
    A couple of rebounds, but Slovakia still can't score! Baldin is also very lucky now.
     
    55:54
    Oh, this was just awful. Estelle Duvin (FRA) gets called for kneeing and I am very glad that the Slovak player is OK.
     
    53:20
    Now Caroline Baldin made two important saves. Looks like the Slovaks are launching a big pressure.
     
    50:52
    Now a crucial moment on the other side. Herichova was all alone, but Baldin made a save with her catching glove!
     
    49:52
    Estelle Duvin looks like she can hear me, but her shot went just on Kiapesova's chest!
     
    47:52
    Slovakia full strength. There are 177 spectators in MEO Arena.
     
    45:47
    The play is mostly in the Slovakian zone and here comes another penalty kill. Barbora Kezmarska (SVK) – 2 minutes for women body checking.
     
    42:29
    Well, this is a huge mistake by referee Glenn. Gabriela Zitnanska (SVK) gets called for tripping, but this was clear penalty shot situation in the goal opportunity.
     
    36:45
    And here comes power-play for Team Slovakia. Amandine Cuasnet (FRA) – 2 + 10 minutes for checking to the head.
     
    34:54
    Great combination and a shot by Passard. Kiapesova made a very good slide to the other side of her goal crease!
     
    34:28
    Nikola Balasova (SVK) – 2 minutes for women body checking.
     
    33:02
    But now Romana Kiapesova had to make a big pad save in the rush ahead of her net.
     
    32:14
    Another bad save by Kiapesova, puck went just centimeters wide. Looks like she is nervous.
     
    29:38
    Now the Slovaks will have an opportunity to tie the score back. Emmanuelle Passard (FRA) – 2 minutes for hooking.
     
    28:55
    Great move by Emmanuelle Passard, but not an accurate shot.
     
    25:29
    And the Slovaks are making a change in their net. Jana Budajova goes to the bench, Romana Kiapesova is now in the blue circle.
     
    25:29
    Another penalty for Team Slovakia! Maria Herichova (SVK) – 2 minutes for hooking.
     
    25:29
    Goal for Team France!
    Well, my apologize! Third power-play for France, second goal! The situation was very strange, but after the puck bounced behind the net, VIRGINIE BOUETZ ANDRIEU was right there and got the rebound! Assist: Estelle Duvin.
     
    24:03
    But now France will play another power-play. Miriam Mikeskova (SVK) – 2 minutes for hooking.
     
    23:26
    Srokova on a breakaway, but her shot went wide! Big opportunity for Slovakia.
     
    22:20
    Goal for Team France!
    Hey, that was just sensational! Emmanuelle Passard recieved the pass on the blue line and then found SOLINE FOHRER, who made a great move and Budajova didn't have a chance. France is equalizing the score! Assist: Emmanuelle Passard.
     
    21:18
    We are going to play some four on four. Martina Velickova (SVK) – 2 minutes for hooking.
     
    21:08
    Great combination by Team Slovakia, but even better save by Baldin on a shot by Klimasova!
     
    19:30
    Very senseless foul by Estelle Duvin (FRA), who is getting a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. First power-play for Team Slovakia.
     
    19:01
    Mikeskova and Mihalikova could have scored a late goal in this period. Baldin didn't see anything, but had some luck and stopped the puck.
     
    15:50
    Breakaway 3 on 1 by Team Slovakia, but Baldin made the save on a shot by Livia Lucova.
     
    13:26
    Two big chances for Slovakia. However, Lucova hit the upper post and Mihalikova was too close to Caroline Baldin.
     
    12:05
    Another mistake by French defense, but Baldin saved the situation with a great pad save.
     
    11:13
    Slovakian players were substituting and Estelle Duvin got the puck on the right side, but her hard shot was easy for Budajova's catching glove.
     
    10:14
    Quick breakaway by Petra Jurcova has finished with a shot just centimeters wide.
     
    05:33
    First penalty of the game. Miriam Mikeskova (SVK) – 2 minutes for tripping.
     
    03:44
    Goal for Team Slovakia!
    Big mistake by Team France and Slovakia shoots the opening goal. Jurcova was very good in forechecking and then passed the puck to MARIA HERICHOVA, who found a little space near the far post. Assist: Petra Jurcoval
     
    01:39
    Here comes a good counterattack by France. Budajova makes a save on a shot by Bouche, who was waiting for a rebound.
