    Still four more games today from Minsk, so tune in for more online coverage of the IIHF World Championship. (14:16:28)
     
    Now the national anthem of Germany is being played.
     
    Players of the game:

    Vitali Yeremeyev, Kazakhstan.
    Leon Draisaitl, Germany.
     
    Game over.
     
    Goal for Team Germany!
    THOMAS OPPENHEIMER answers right back and scores to end the game, making a move to the right and sliding the puck through Yeremeyev's pads.
     
    Dmitri Upper scores to the stick side, 1-1 after 2 rounds.
     
    Tobias Rieder's shot hits Yeremeyev's pad.
     
    Nikolai Antropov shoots, low, pad save Zepp.
     
    Alexander Barta goes high glove side and scores.
     
    Roman Starchenko tries to go five-hole, denied by Zepp.
     
    Start of shootout.
     
    Kazakhstan will shoot first.
     
    So 65 minutes of hockey is complete, and this game will be decided by a shootout.

    Shots on goal in overtime (and the game): Kazakhstan 1 (17), Germany 4 (43).

    The shootout starts soon.
     
    65:00
    Overtime finished.
     
    64:50
    Piatta from a sharp angle, pad save Yeremeyev.
     
    64:14
    Now a low shot goes right on Yeremeyev, who covers.
     
    63:18
    Braun the wrister, kicked out by Yeremeyev.
     
    62:07
    Long shot from Antropov is deflected in front by Starchenko right on Zepp. I don't think he saw it through the traffic but it hit him and he covers it.
     
    61:07
    Now Yeremeyev another save and he covers it.
     
    60:30
    Germany with a chance, the shot by Akdag hits Yeremeyev in the mask but play continues for a few moments as his mask comes off as the Germans dig for the puck in the crease. Finally the whistle goes and the goalie is furious. No harm done, fortunately. Faceoff in the Kazakh zone.
