Four goals send Great Britain to B final

8. 6. 2017 | Vít Trubička
The start of the first period was very balanced, as both teams had a lot chances, but neither was able to convert until the end, when Britain scored. They took the lead at the end of the period, which woke up their noisy fans. The second period was completely British - they scored twice, but they had lots of chances. Armenia also scored once after a British mistake. The third period continued to go in the British direction, as they were comfortably in the lead and won 4-2 to advance to the B final.
 

Reactions

Haig Genc Avedissian (captain of Team Armenia): We came a long way to get here. Two years ago, we finished the championship on the last place. This year we had a chance to the gold medal, the training made us really far. We lost an important game, so we are disappointed. However, we hope that tomorrow we can win the bronze medal.

Brian Marchetti (goalkeeper of Great Britain): I thought, that it would be more difficult than GB last tournament round. My team was appointed today, we knew what to play, what we will came in. We scored early and worked with the lead till the end. The referee was fantasic, the team was fantastic. It was a great game.
