Kazakhstan v Slovakia
Kazakhstan (8) v Slovakia (5)
The sun was shining as the teams said hello to each other, which allowed the tribunes to be fairly crowded. Especially Slovakia had a big group of fans - who sang, yelled and shouted for their team. Both teams struggled to open the game and the two first minutes were quiet, uneventful and full of slow motion. After two minutes and twenty seconds Kazakhstan scored the fist goal and got their game started. Kazakhstan's keeper made a great effort for his team in first half when his field players made it hard for him with a weak defence. At half time Kazakhstan led the game 4 to 1.
Second half showed a Slovakian team who struggled to play as a team. At several occasions the referee had to stop the game and remind the players on the 'fair game' concept.
Two minutes before time Slovakia answered their wake up call from the crowd and number 9 for Slovakia scored a hat-trick. Seven seconds before the end Slovakia reduced the score to 5-8.
