The British put forward the initial pressure of the opponent and Liam Kirk sent his team to the lead in the 8th minute with a dose of luck. It was his fifth goal in the championship. Tre Kronor then made a cautious impression for a while, but gradually got into pace and finally came to a close thanks to Sörensen in the power play. Another Swedish chance was eliminated by Bowns, against Olofsson he was helped by the construction of the goal.

The middle part was clearly played according to Swedish notes, the Northerners had a huge advantage. However, only Pudas and Mario Kempe overcame the excellent Bowns, the British goalkeeper otherwise performed some great interventions.
In the third period, the Swedes already guarded the lead, kept the opponent at a distance, and only the Swedes ‘shooting helplessness or Bowns’ interventions saved the British from a higher loss. He was overtaken only by Mario Kempe, who scored his second goal of the match.
Huge hopes of Slovak hockey:
