Mikaels Ruohuma and Petteri Lindbaums for Finland.
Andrew Mangjapan was named the tournament player, whose arrival in the middle gave Canada a spark for Canada. The Calgary Flames striker scored seven goals in seven games – including a winner in the Canadian quarterfinals and semi-finals – and four assists.
Darsiy Komber made a convincing performance in the Canadian goal, repelling 29 throws to the side. Olkinura fought off 23 bombs for Finland.
He previously won bronze in the USA, defeating Germany 6: 1.
Sunday’s result was a revenge for Canada that prevented Finland from trying to win the world title for the first time. The Finns beat Canada 3: 1 in the 2019 World Cup final. The 2020 tournament has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Finland also beat Canada 3: 2 on the final day of the pre-race round. The result almost excluded Canada from the competition for a medal.
In the first period, Canada had an early penalty problem, and Finland eventually forced them to pay the price. Olors Kaski held the ball in the Canadian area at the Blue Line, then fed Ruhom, who bypassed Canada’s defense. Ruohomaa beat Kuemper when Paul’s twisted penalty kick ended.
Paul’s offense came shortly after Canada killed a punishment when Justin Danfort was assessed for a juvenile offense on a 10-minute flight.
Canada reached 4:30 in the second half. Brown’s shot hit the pole and bounced until he finally fell to Komtua, who almost beat Olkenor.
Canada later led the way with a 2: 1 lead as Henry beat Olkenor and defender Ouens Powers was eliminated.
In the third game, Lindbaums put Finland ahead again with a score of 5:27, when an early shot from the left edge beat Kuemper.
In a tense match, Henrik reached a 2: 2 draw in 18 seconds after Paul placed an 11-meter penalty kick. The comedian in front fed the Canadian captain, who put the puck at Olkinora’s goal. This paved the way for the championship winners Paul’s Gate.
Canada’s participation in the gold medal match in the first half of the pre-race round seemed very unlikely.
The Canadians lost 2: 0 to their home team Latvia, then two days later they lost to the Americans 5: 1.
Germany then lost 3-3 to Germany 3-3 and threatened not to qualify for the first time in the World Series or Olympic quarterfinals.
Canada started returning to the tournament with a 4-2 victory over Norway. Mangiapane gave an idea of the importance of his addition and scored the winning goal by debuting in the tournament.
The list drawn up by Canadian officers, including for the first time General Manager Roberto Longo, seems to have come together with the course of the tournament. Canada followed the victory over Norway with a 4-2 victory over Kazakhstan, which was the center of the Group B playoffs at the time, and then beat Italy unbeaten 7: 1, returning 3-3.
These results allowed Canada to control its fate in the playoffs, but the loss in the penalty shootout means that the Canadians will need a little help to reach the top four in the group. They got it when Germany finished the race with a 2: 1 victory over Latvia, depriving the host country of the point needed to knock Canada out of the top four.
Canada took the opportunity as Manjiabani scored in extra time in his 2: 1 quarter-final match against Group A winner Russia, then took revenge on his North American rival with a 4: 2 victory over the United States. number one seed. Group B semi-finals.
