The favorite in this match was “Terzi Koroni”. Sweden is the 11-time world champion, last time in 2018.
On the other hand, although Belarus, despite its regular participation in the World Elite Championship in recent years, two years ago, when it was last played, it was promoted to it from the First Division of the World Cup.
The match in Riga started badly for the Belarusians, because in the middle of the first period Yevgeny Lisovets suffered an injury. The hockey player left the ring on a stretcher.
Despite this, our eastern neighbors managed to win this duel. He scored the only goal for them in the 41st minute through the German Nestero, who hit the crossbar from close range.
