Canada wins brother duel and is in the final

The 26-time world champion won the North American duel with the USA 4:2 (1:1, 0:1, 2:1) in Riga on Saturday and thus advanced to the final. With a brace, NHL striker Andrew Mangiapane from the Calgary Flames was the decisive player for Canada (25th minute/41st) to stop the USA's successful run. Brandon Pirri from the Chicago Blackhawks (3rd) also took the lead early on. Justin Danforth made the decision with 24 seconds left with a hit into the empty net. Reaching the final comes as a surprise because the Canadians had a historically bad start to the World Cup with three defeats, including a 3-1 defeat against Germany. Only then did the Canadians improve, but only came fourth in the preliminary group. With a final victory on Sunday, Canada would draw level with record world champions Russia. The USA came first in the preliminary round group and had previously only suffered a defeat against Finland in the first game. The goals from the two NHL professionals Colin Blackwell (18th) and Sasha Chmelevski (44th) were not enough for the title chance. Finland and Germany will compete in the second semi-final. The game starts at 2:17.15 p.m. USA – Canada 2:4 Gates: 0:1 Pirri (2.02), 1:1 Blackwell (17.17), 1:2 Mangiapane (24.15), 1:3 Mangiapane (40.46), 2:3 Chmelevski (43.36), 2:4 Danforth (59.36).
