Slovaks in euphoria. They defeated the Germans and are in the quarterfinals of the World Cup, the Czechs already know their opponents

The Slovaks, half of whom are in the Czech Superleaf, have a 3-0 lead in the 18th minute thanks to goals by Ladislav Mirt, Tomáš Kvasnica and FBC Ostrava forward Ladislav Gal. In the beginning of the second part, Kvasnica prevailed for the second time, but the Germans reduced it in the second period thanks to Sascha Herlt’s goal in the second period and Julian Nihlén’s shot in the weakening from the 46th minute.

In just nine seconds, however, Sparta defender Kristián Kozák used the ongoing power play. For Germany, Nihlén, a native of Sweden, reduced the numerical advantage in the second goal in the match, but in the end in the power play, Martin Kubovič and another Spartan Lukáš Ujhelyi still scored in the empty net. The Germans are missing the top eight for the second time in the last five championships.

The Estonians beat Denmark 5: 3 and for the third time in four World Cups they will play in the quarterfinals, where they were missing only in 2018. The Danes are not among the top eight for the first time since 2012.
