Italy – Slovakia 1:3 Goals: 0:1 Kristof (10.31), 0:2 Sykora (19.54), 1:2 Trivellato (44.09), 1:3 Tamasi (49.14) Click here to update. And with that we say goodbye to the ticker center. You will read the detailed report shortly SportNews.bz. + + + Overall, Italy didn't play a bad game. However, it is also true that the Slovak victory - despite the goal in the meantime - was never in danger. The Azzurri suffered their sixth defeat in their sixth match. Now it's time to pool all our strengths for the game against Kazakhstan on Monday. + + + Greg Ireland takes full risk and takes Bernard off the ice. With one more man, Italy doesn't create much pressure. Slovakia saved their lead without any problems over time and won 3-1. + + + The Azzurri are desperately trying to pull off something dangerous. However, the Slovaks are careful and do not let the Italian power play develop. A long shot from Enrico Miglioranzi remains the highest of emotions. Just five minutes. + + + Now a Slovakian has to sit in the cooler. Now it's time for the Azzurri. There are around nine minutes left to play. + + + 3:1 for Slovakia: That's annoying! The penalty against Dylan Di Perna has consequences: Bernard defuses two shots, but the goalie is powerless on Alex Tamasi's third attempt. The preliminary decision? + + + Italy have now tasted blood but are losing momentum after a highly controversial penalty was handed out on Dylan Di Perna. Now it's time to survive this power play. + + + TOOOR for Italy: Trivellato makes an avoidable loss of a disc in his own zone, but Mario Lunter cannot benefit from it. Moments later, the Leifer player takes the shot in the power play and shortens it with a well-placed shot. Only 1:2 left! + + + The last 20 minutes are in the Ice Hall in Helsinki. Will Italy turn things around? + + + The second third is over. There wasn't enough offensive from Italy - apart from the Mantenuto chance in the power play. On the other hand, Alex Trivellato & Co. appeared more solid defensively. The Azzurri now have to hope for a miracle in the final third. + + + That was close! Slovakia combines beautifully in the power play through the Italian box until Adam Liska narrowly misses the goal. Moments earlier, a direct shot from Tatar hit the crossbar. + + + Slovakia wants to make it 3-0, but Bernard is always there - even when Daniel Glira is in the penalty box. Italy, however, was no longer dangerous after the Mantenuto shot. + + + What an opportunity for Italy! On the power play, Daniel Mantenuto fires a slap shot that hits the post. Alex Petan cannot use the resulting margin. + + + Right at the beginning of the third, things are ablaze. The advanced Martin Fehervary has the empty goal in front of him after a rebound, but somehow he manages to put the puck over the crossbar. + + + The teams are back on the ice, things continue! + + + Italy started off boldly. However, after the 0-1 score, the Ireland team lost some of their grit. The fact that it was only 0:2 at the first break is thanks to the extremely strong Bernard. In the second third, an increase in performance is required. + + + 2:0 for Slovakia: Six seconds before the end of the third, the favorite strikes again. The outstanding Slafkovsky (18 years old) puts 17-year-old Adam Sykora in the spotlight after a counterattack and celebrates after his teammate puts the puck into the corner. This means we go into the locker room with a score of 2-0. + + + Bernard again! Once again it is Takac who shoots twice from Kalterer. Only thanks to an outstanding save did the goalkeeper avoid the 0-2 deficit. + + + Huge opportunity for Slovakia: Gregorio Gios breaks his stick while trying to shoot, Simon Takac runs alone towards Bernard, who brilliantly parries the solo shot. There are five minutes left on the clock in the first third. + + + 1:0 for Slovakia: Slafkovsky finishes, Bernard lets the puck bounce to the side, Tomas Tatar brings it to the middle with his skate, where Michal Kristof just has to push it into the empty goal. + + + After around nine minutes, Italy tested Adam Huska for the first time in the person of Diego Kostner and Daniel Frank, but he had no problems with the shots from the two South Tyroleans. Still 0-0. + + + The first few minutes passed without any significant action. The Slovaks have clearly had more of the game, but have not yet embarrassed Andreas Bernard in the Azzurri box. + + + Here we go, the game has begun! + + + Craig Ramsay is sending the following team into the race: Huska (Tomek); Fehervary-Ceresnak, Ivan-Nemec, Janosik-Graman, Rosandic-Gachulinec; Slafkovsky-Kristof-Tatar, Takac-Roman-Regenda, Liska-Tamasi-Lantosi, Lunter-Kollar-Sykora. + + + Italy starts the game with these lines: Bernard (Fazio); Trivellato-Di Perna, Miglioranzi-Pietroniro, Glira-Gios, Spornberger; Frigo-Mantenuto-McNally, Sanna-Simon Kostner-Petan, Frank-Hannoun-Diego Kostner, Traversa-Mantinger-Deluca, Insam. + + + The team around NHL crack Tomas Tatar and super talent Juraj Slafkovsky is undoubtedly the favorite against the Azzurri and is motivated to the core, as a place in the quarter-finals is at stake. That's why the Blue Team can't expect any gifts. The last official game between these two nations took place at the 2017 World Cup and was narrowly won by the Slovaks 3-2 after extra time. + + + Welcome from the SportNews ticker center! After five matchdays, Greg Ireland's team has one point to their name - one point more than relegation rivals Kazakhstan. Before the fateful game against the Asians on Monday, Daniel Frank & Co. will face Slovakia on Saturday.
