Austria manages to stay in the league

The Austrians were twice behind by two goals in the final decider thanks to goals from Matthew Myers (20th), Robert Dowd (22nd) and Cade Neilson (47th). Ali Wukovits (45th), Dominque Heinrich (48th), Benjamin Nissner (52nd), captain Thomas Raffl (59th) and Peter Schneider (60th) turned the game around in the final third of team boss Roger Bader's 100th international match.

It was the British who caused some tricky situations in the first third. Bernhard Starkbaum was there initially, but Austria's goalkeeper was beaten shortly before the first break. Myers converted a rebound on the power play. At the beginning of the middle third, the British followed suit. Dowd slid into a Neilson shot and skated the disc into the goal. After video review, the hit counted. Bader's team reeled. Myers (25th) and Scott Conway (29th) moved towards the red-white-red goal alone, but Starkbaum prevented the score from making it 0:3. Austria is turning up the heat Only gradually did Raffl and Co. put pressure on Ben Bowns' goal, the Graz2020ers' short-term goalie in October 99. In the first power game, Wukovits also made it 1:2, but that didn't last long. With one of many dangerous British counterattacks, Neilson restored the two-goal lead just 88 seconds later. But with the renewed connection, Heinrich immediately initiated the final change, which Nissner, Raffl and Schneider finalized.

Austria managed to stay in the league for only the second time in the past 18 years (after Copenhagen in 2018). Thanks to the surprising point wins against the USA (2:3 nV), the Czech Republic (2:1 nP) and Latvia (3:4 nP), the ÖEHV team finished the tournament with seven points and achieved its best World Cup result since eleventh place in 2004 A top 12 place is even realistic, which would also have a financial impact - 190.000 instead of 95.000 francs. Denmark surprised In the parallel game, the Danes caused a huge surprise with a 3-2 victory over world champions Canada. Nevertheless, Nikolaj Ehlers & Co. have not yet secured their ticket to the quarterfinals. At least one point is needed in the final group game against Slovakia. On Monday, the Danes quickly took a 2-0 lead through Markus Lauridsen and Peter Regin, but Canada was unable to make up for this deficit. Mathias Bau Hansen put the lid on it with a goal around eight minutes before the end.
