Slovakia is close to a knockout against Canada
Slovakia grabbed a point against Canada.
This is despite star player Libor Hudacek conceding a penalty in the second half.
– Nonsense, his SVT teammate Samuel Knazko snored.
It was a messy, drawn-out match between Canada and Slovakia in Riga.
A total of 18 (!) disposals were delivered before Canada finally won 2-1 after a thrilling penalty shootout.
The most controversial expulsion came at the end of the second half when the great Slovakian star Libor Hudacek received a penalty kick for boarding the plane. McKenzie Wegar tackled from behind and the Canadian hit his face on the edge.
– Hudacek sees the numbers on his back and should avoid getting involved, said SVT expert Håkan Loob.
Raging towards a penalty kick match
Slovakian defender Samuel Knazko disagreed with the referees over the assessment.
– It’s nonsense. I apologize for my language, but they should have also taken a match penalty. We got it for the second time in the tournament. It’s sad, but that’s what happens in hockey, says VSVT.
Dream Goal by Leksandduon
Jack Quinn of the Buffalo Sabers scored the decisive penalty for Canada, but the highlight of the game was Slovakia’s 1-1 goal scored by Lexand’s star duo Marek Hrevik and Peter Celarik.
Cehlarik ended the play by patting the ball into the semi-open goal.
– The most beautiful goal of the World Cup, said SVT expert Daniel Rudslat.
