The home team played a brilliant
match against one of the favourites Canada in the first semi-final
match today. Slovakia was under with 0-2 in the first period, but
managed to get back and won the semi-final with 7-6. |

Slovakia got into the lead for the first
time in the second period as they scored two goals within two seconds,
but then Canada used their power play opportunity and it was
3-4. Slovakia did however get into good scoring opportunities in
the opponents defensive zone and also used the chances given, 4-6 after
two periods. |
| Slovakia even got to a three goal lead in the third period, but then Seppo Lattu
scored for Canada and the match was 5-7. As Slovakia received a five
minutes penalty for using incorrect equipment Canada got their chance
to equalise. Canada came as close as 6-7, but no more, and Slovakia
pleased their supporters and will play in the final tomorrow starting
at 13:00 CET. |
