    What an exciting and suprising game! Italy had only 4 shots during the whole third period, France had 10 but Italy was able to score the victorious goal! France unable to score today, Italy ties them with 3 points now.

    Italy 2, France 1. Thank you for following! (13:46:01)

    Game over.
     
    59:45
    Fleury shot, it was blocked!
     
    59:35
    Still empty net, Huet is on the bench already. Only a few seconds to go, France has to risk now everything.
     
    59:30
    Empty net for France and Italy got the puck for some seconds but lost it.
     
    59:02
    Of course, French timeout. They will substitute Huet for a sixth attacker when they get the chance.
     
    59:02
    Goal for Team Italy!
    Successful Italian counter on the left, the puck bounced ahead of MARKUS GANDER after the shot by Tudin, he swept the rebound into the net from very close range!
    Assist: Daniel Tudin.
     
    58:45
    Roussel got a good pass on the left side, he shot at 5-6 meters, Bellissimo reliable again.
     
    58:20
    Diego Kostner was very close to shoot in the middle, a defender blocked it with his body!
     
    57:50
    Janil had a shot from the left side, a defender stuck him in the very last moment.
     
    57:15
    Larkin's shot bounced up on a stick, not dangerous.
     
    56:45
    It looks very much like, it's going to be overtime now after 60 minutes.
     
    56:10
    Treille bombed from the left side in a clear situation, Bellissimo deflected it!
     
    55:00
    Total shots on goal: 28-15 so far. France is much more active, but Italian defence is good.
     
    54:20
    Kostner led a nice counter on the right side, decided to shoot by the blue line, Huet saved for the first time in this period!
     
    53:45
    France is pressing Italy in this period but still unable to score.
     
    52:50
    The last commercial break is on now, the teams have 7 minutes left to decide the game for the three points.
     
    52:40
    Right hand side shot by Raux, it missed the target by some centimeters.
     
    52:10
    The question starts to be real: can the teams decide the game during the normal 60 minute time?
     
    51:42
    Chakiachvili had a left side shot near the blue line, Bellissimo deflected it.
