Lithuania suffers relegation at the end of World Championship Division IA campaign with a 1-2 loss against Korea in Nottingham. Despite trying their best, Lithuania ends the tournament without a point, securing Romania’s status for another season. The game was vital for Lithuania’s survival chances, but Korea had better opportunities throughout. Although Lithuania tied the game with Ugnius Cizas, the team faced penalties and failed to score enough throughout the tournament. Korea’s victory secured the team’s spot and a rousing reception from Romanian fans. The tournament was tough for Korea’s goalie Matt Dalton, but he was delighted to help his adopted country remain in Division IA. The future is bright for Korea as the younger players get to play in this division next year.
