Ice Hockey World Championship
Switzerland also beats hosts Czech Republic!
Switzerland have also beaten the hosts at the Ice Hockey World Championships in the Czech Republic! One day after the laborious 6:5 win against Austria, the Swiss beat the Czech Republic 2:1 on Monday evening in Prague after a penalty shoot-out and took over the top of the table for the time being. Finland had previously beaten Norway 4-1, with Arttu Hyry scoring twice for the four-time world champions.
Kevin Fiala (14th) put the Swiss ahead, Matej Stransky (36th) also equalized on the powerplay in the middle third. After a goalless third period and overtime, the game was decided in a penalty shoot-out. Fiala and Philipp Kurashev scored for the Swiss, only Stransky for the Czechs. Fiala, who plays for the Los Angeles Kings, had only arrived in Prague a few hours before the start of the game after becoming the father of a daughter earlier than expected.
Kelemen decided the match in favor of the Slovaks
Slovakia surprisingly defeated the USA 5:4 after overtime. Almost 9,000 fans turned the match in Ostrava into a Slovakian home game. After taking a 4:1 lead, it looked like a surprisingly clear victory for the 2002 world champions. It was only in the final period that the US team struck back and equalized the score at 4:4. In overtime, Milos Kelemen decided the match in favor of the Slovaks (64.).
Germany were then at a loss against Sweden's NHL stars. The runners-up lost 1:6, after two periods it was 5:0 for the still unblemished Scandinavians. Two days earlier, the German team had already lost 6-1 to the USA. Germany had beaten the Slovaks in the opening game.
