    That is a all for now, but stay tuned for second game of this day from Minsk Arena as Russia will take on USA. (18:12:40)
     
    What a bummer for Team Switzerland which have zero points from their three games and might very likely miss the play-offs if they keep on losing. Belarus, on the other hand, might celebrate, because they have six points after three games.
     
    Best players are Eric Blum (SUI) and Sergei Kostitsyn (BEL).
     
    Belarus take the win in this incredible match! And what a match it was – we have seen two shorthanded goals, both teams took the lead for some time, but home players are celebrating the win in the end as Mikhail Grabovski scored the game winning goal while playing in four players on both sides in the third period.
     
    60:00
    Game over.

    Berra stays on the bench! Face-off in the neutral zone.
     
    58:55
    Switzerland timeout.
     
    58:55
    Moser tried to rebound the puck but Koval was already holding it in his hands. Moser got knocked down and there is a little fight behind the net of Vitali Koval.
     
    58:20
    Switzrerland at full strength.
     
    57:54
    Goal for Team Belarus! What a match at Minsk Arena! Belarus take the lead again with 123 seconds to go! MIKHAIL GRABOVSKI stole the puck and went all the way to find a little space between the post and left leg of Berra to score! Unassisted.
     
    57:37
    Korobov (BEL) turns the momentum around as Switzerland is going to play power-play after Weber comes back.
     
    57:02
    Berra is keeping his team in the game! Kostitsyn and Grabovski were just on top of the crease rebounding the loose puck, but Berra stopped both of them.
     
    56:27
    Puck is behind the net of Vitali Koval after Swiss won the face-off.
     
    56:20
    Yannick Weber (SUI) with his second minor penalty of this match. Very bad timing for this one though.
     
    56:09
    Suri stopped attack of Belarussian players and gave puck to his defenders.
     
    54:54
    Hollenstein skated all the way around the net looking for Cunti, but his pass was intercepted. Cunti would have been in front of an empty net.
     
    54:12
    Sergei Kostitsyn is in the mood for some more, but he can't beat three defenders by himself like he wanted to do this time.
