50:59 Hischier (SUI) - 4:3
	50:59	Goal for Team Switzerland! We have a game again! NICO HISCHIER shoots the puck from the right circle and Lehtinen has no chance this time! Assisted by: Nando Eggenberger, Tobias Geisser.
	50:00	Linus Nyman (FIN) trips his opponent by the boards and is off to the penalty box.
	49:22	Räsänen (FIN) receives a two-minute penalty for dangerous equipment. Interesting.
	48:30	Simon Le Coultre (SUI) shoots the puck out of play, the Swiss will be down two men!
	47:39	The Swiss played with six men on the ice, the penalty will be served by Gil Reymondin (SUI).
45:55 Nyman (FIN) - 4:2
	45:55	Goal for Team Finland! The game is quickly getting away from Team Switzerland! The Swiss defence completely forgot about LINUS NYMAN who tucked the puck in from point blank! Assisted by: Aleksi Heponiemi, Sami Moilanen.
44:33 Pajuniemi (FIN) - 3:2
	44:33	Goal for Team Finland! After a mistake by Messerli, who had no idea where the puck was, the Finns scored for the third time today! Engberg dishes the puck to LAURI PAJUNIEMI who makes no mistake! Assisted by: Teemu Engberg.
	42:08	Philipp Kurashev finds himself in the slot out of the blue but doesn't get the puck on net!
	40:41	Samuel Parkkari (FIN) receives a two-minute penalty for slashing and a 10-minute personal penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
40:05 Müller (SUI) - 2:2
	40:05	Goal for Team Switzerland! My goodness, that was quick! NICOLAS MÜLLER manages to get the puck behind Lehtinen to tie things up just five seconds after the start of the period! Assisted by: Nico Hischier.
	39:14	The Swiss were close to making the game even again as Hischier's attempt from a sharp angle hits the post!
	38:19	Bernard Isiguzo (FIN) goes to the box for roughing.
37:32
	37:32	Gianluca Zaetta has to leave the game probably for a hand injury, Joel Messerli makes his way on the ice to replace him.
	36:54	This looked promising for Finland! Zaetta was caught out of his net and the Finns could capitalise, but didn't manage to shoot the puck into the empty net!
	33:50	The power play is over, Leuenberger (SUI) receives an interference minor.
	32:26	Aarne Talvitie (FIN) receives a 2+10 minute penalty for checking to the head of one of the opponents.
30:42 Nyman (FIN) - 2:1
	30:42	Goal for Team Finland! The Finns have the edge now thanks to LINUS NYMAN, who exactly knew where to be to collect Moilanen's pass and Zaetta had no chance from point blank! Assisted by: Sami Moilanen, Aleksi Heponiemi.
23:16 Anttalainen (FIN) - 1:1
	23:16	Goal for Team Finland! ...but they just proved me wrong! ALEKSI ANTTALAINEN lets go a cannon from the blue line and Zaetta had no chance to even recover from the ground! Unassisted.
17:01
	17:01	There is yet another penalty, however. Charging is the call on Simic (SUI).
	14:41	It is Vaakanainen (FIN) who holds one of his opponents, the Finnish power play is over.
	12:23	Nico Hischier (SUI) draws a bad penalty for interference, this is starting to look pretty bad for the Swiss.
	11:22	Nico Gross (SUI) waffleboards one of the opponents on the boarding and receives a two-minute minor. The Swiss will be down by two men!
	10:45	After the commercial break, Finland will go on the power play. Ramon Tanner (SUI) is headed to the box for hooking.
07:48 Reymondin (SUI) - 0:1
	07:48	Goal for Team Switzerland! A nice play by Switzerland's third line and we have the opener here in Břeclav! Zbinden guides the puck in front of the net and GIL REYMONDIN makes no mistake to beat Lehtinen who stood no chance this time! Assisted by: Marlon Zbinden, Tim Kobler.
	05:11	That was a good chance for Switzerland! Gil Reymondin gets on a breakaway, tries to pull a deke on Lehtinen and hits the crossbar!
	02:04	Jesse Koskenkorva (FIN) receives a two-minute minor for tripping.
