Embarrassment at the beginning, then Czech dominance
–
The Czech team was tormented by the first third of the match against Great Britain, when they practically did not get into any chance. Kari Jalonen’s charges were much better in the middle when Blümel made his mark in the 28th minute. Shortly after half of the match, Červenka could have increased from a penalty shot, but he only hit both sticks of Bowns’ goal. However, the favorite calmed down nine seconds later Flek, who ran Ščotek’s throw and increased in the 33rd minute to a two-goal difference. The final part was clearly directed by the Czech team. Jiříček, Černoch and Blümel again secured the lead 5: 0, Dostál was then spoiled by a clean sheet in the 51st minute, which Lake reduced to 1: 5.

After a careful opening third of the match between Slovakia and Germany, the German team was the first to speak, when after 94 seconds of the second part they shot Rybár Placht for the first time. And for the bronze medalists at the Beijing Olympics, it was even worse five minutes later, when Pfoederl increased the two-goal difference. The coach of the Canadian coach Ramsay returned to the game shortly after half of the match Pospíšil, who reduced it to a one-goal difference. However, the Slovak team was no longer able to equalize and after the victory over France on Friday, they scored their first defeat.

The Finnish hockey players did not enter their second match at the home World Cup well after the initial problem-free victory over Norway. Balcers sent Latvia into the lead in the 9th minute and the outsider went into a surprising lead. The home fans did not see a balance until the middle of the match, when they leveled the bills from the Manninen power play. In the end, the favorite just got the expected second win. In the 58th minute, he again took advantage of one man in the Granlund field and decided to win Finland 2: 1.
