    Goal for Team Finland!
    Huge fault in US defence results into the Finnish goal, the difference is again at four goals! Defenders of USA lost the puck behind their net, it took OTTO MAKINEN, skated in front of the net and finished by beuatiful shot to left top corner!

    Goal for Team USA!
    The activity of Americans results into the goal, this will maybe make a drama from the game! Nice combination of two players – Lown sent accurate crossing pass through zone to TIMMY GETTINGER, who just hit the puck and sent it to the net – 4:1!

    Goal for Team Finland!
    Ladies and gentleman, for long time, I didn´t see the first period like this! Finnish team sent nine shots and scores for fourth time! Two shots by Salo weren´t successful, but another power-play combination yes. Rasanen made a beautiful pass to OTTO SOMPPI, who scored to the empty net, Dhillon didn´t manage to transport to the right side of net!

    Unbelievable, there were three shots on Dhillon and two of them finished behind him! This was a shocking moment for whole Arena! Somppi won the face-off for EETU TUULOLA, who sent a great snapshot, Dhillon was without chance!
