The Slovaks led Switzerland 3:1 after the second period, and were relatively close to first place overall in the group at the time. But the opponent managed to equalize and force extra time. The drama came to raids, decided by Dionicio in the tenth series.
And with a cheeky finish between the concrete with one hand, he put Slovakian goalkeeper Adam Gajan on the ass. The successful shooter then enjoyed the celebration with his tongue out and swinging motions.
19-year-old Dionicio, who was born in Newark, USA to Dominican Republic parents and is trying to make it to the famous NHL from the Niagara Ice Dogs (OHL), has already found himself in the role of savior.
And that when he avoided a defeat against Latvia with a goal at the end of normal playing time in a 1:2 unfavorable situation without a goalkeeper in a key promotion fight. In the end, the Swiss also won this duel after the raids.
Helvetic Cross players have not won a single three-point victory at the tournament, but can still look forward to the quarter-final duel with the excellent Czech international.
