One mistake by team Slovakia for a long time and Finland was able to score. Nice action when two Finland players were running two on one. SAMI PIETSALO did not know if he should take a shot or try to pass. He did first thing and scored next to right post. Assists: Johannes Pukema.
Patrik Svitana had wonderful chance, but he hit just pad of goalie Kuusama. But there Slovakia come with another nice play. And scored their third goal of afternoon. LIBOR TEPLICKY found place next to right post and then had easy position to score and celebrate. Finland lost 0:3. Assists: Ivan Kacer.
After goal during five on five game, Slovakia scores in power play too. And it was beautiful goal. LUKAS PIJAK got wonderful pass from behind the net. Ball went to goal crease where Pijak could score easily. Nice ball hockey action. Assists: Radovan Dejneka, Miroslav Bozik.
This is fast start from team Slovakia. Finland had some good moments at the start of the game, but it is Slovakia who scores first. MAREK SLOVAK stood absolutely alone on the right circle. He couldn't not to score from this position. Slovak found place between pads of Kuusamo. Assists: Lukas Pijak, Miroslav Bozik.
