It's another power play goal for team Slovenia in this game. Brazil defensive was just staying on the same place when MATIC KRALJ took snap shot and scored next to right post. Assisted by Domen Vedlin and Mateuz Erman.
Probably we know who is going to semifinal game. Six goal of this game for Slovenian added to the net DOMEN VEDLIN, when he was nice ready to shot on right circle. Assisted by Jure Sotlar.
Slovenian managed to score in their own power play. ROK SIMSIC showe wonderful play with stick and took snapshot infron of the red line. He got puck onto his stick from Jure Sotlar and sent puck into the net. Assisted by Jure Sotlar and Gregor Krivic.
I am surprised again. It looked like we already won't see no goals in the third period. But Slovenian showed wonderful moments in last minute of this period. DOMEN VEDLIN hit the post and puck went to the net. Sad moment for team Brazil. Assisted by Rok Simsic and Gregor Krivic.
Another goal in Brazilian net. In the first half this game we didn't see any goals but it's third goal from Slovenian just now. JURE SOTLAR saw puck on the left side and showed wonderful snapshot. Assisted by Rok Simsic.
Slovenian are celebrating the second goal during this game. It looked like bad shot on a goal. Although this shot was easy to catch for Allen Ruane wasn't ready and let go puck to his net. GREGOR KRIVIC is author of this goal. He got nice pass from Simsic. Assisted by Rok Simsic and Domen Vedlin.
Spectators in Small hall in Pardubice can do first ovations! Team Slovenia finally got puck behind the net line when NEJC SOTLAR got wonderful pass onto his stick and took wrist shot under bar. Assistedy by Gal Koren and Jure Ferjanic. It seems Slovenia is better team on the pitch but that's first goal of this match. It's important and nice goal.

Team Slovenia became winner of group C Division I. They had good start to the tournament and didn't lose any point during three games. That's reason why men from south Europe can play kind match in quarterfinal. Sure, they will big favourite in game against Brazil. But Slovenian have to be patient if they want to win. Good start to this game could be probably important.
Brazil isn't country where people are big hockey fans. But team Brazil arrived to Pardubice to try to show their posibilities. Although south America team stayed in last position in the table, it doesn't matter. Brazil played some good matches and they know it. Slovenia is hard rival, but Brazil can surprise them!
