Great Britain also shocks the Blue Team

The game in the László Papp Sports Arena in Budapest, where around 500 British fans created a home game atmosphere, was not for the faint of heart - also because both teams repeatedly made outrageous mistakes and caused moments of shock, especially the two goalkeepers.

They were both in the spotlight in the eighth minute of the game: first Andreas Bernard slipped the disc between the legs into the goal after a shot from Brett Perlini, twenty seconds later his counterpart Ben Bowns started a daring excursion and Alex Lambacher scored unhindered to make it 1-1 . However, it only took a few seconds and Bernard was tunneled again. This time the goal was credited to Rob Dowd. The “Azzurri” were not impressed and responded five minutes later with a blueliner from Thomas Larkin that hit the British goal like a bomb. The score went into the break at 2-2.

Andreas Bernard had to leave the ice after conceding the third goal.

The second third began with the next strange goal from the newcomer from the island: Defender Ben O'Connor simply took a shot from the halfway line, Bernard seemed completely surprised and let the puck slide through his legs and into the goal for the third time. The Finnish legionnaire had to give up his place between the posts for backup Marco De Filippo Roia. This initially closed at the back. Perlini breaks Italy's neck After the last break, Italy became a little more courageous, moved forward - and was promptly rewarded. Giulio Scandella went off alone and finished ice-cold to make it 3-3. “The goal came at an important time but unfortunately Great Britain were able to hit back again. The positive thing is that we held on at least until the end,” said the Asiago striker, who was named the best Italian after the game. By Great Britain's reaction, Scandella was referring to the goal from dual national Perlini, who punished a mistake in the Italian defense to make it 4-3. In the remaining ten minutes of the game, Italy could do nothing and their second World Cup defeat was sealed.

The “Azzurri” face Slovenia on Saturday. They have to win and at the same time hope that the competition plays into their hands.
