The game started promisingly for Italy: after just four minutes, Traversa gave a Simon Kostner shot the decisive change of direction - and it was already 1-0. After the break, just 77 seconds had passed when Sarauer let the 7000 spectators in the Laszlo Papp Sportarena cheer: After Sofron's cross pass, he only had to push in to make it 1-1. The “Azzurri” struck back a little later: With one man less on the ice, Deluca stole the puck from an opponent and played it to Larkin, who remained ice cold alone in front of Hungarian goalie Vay. Almost in return, the home team equalized with the advantage and after a quick combination by Vas.

In the final third, both teams had a thrilling exchange of blows, which Sebok ultimately decided: After 41 minutes, he moved from the right and found the gap - 3:2. The final score because Italy could no longer react decisively.
