The Germans needed to win at any cost to be sure of advancement. They took the lead already in the 4th minute, when Stachowiak set up a goal for Ehl after a quick counterattack. Gawanke could have added another goal, but goalkeeper Ylönen managed to move in time and eliminated his chance.
In the 16th minute, however, Ylönen was unlucky when he did not have time to react to the puck bounced off the skate of Tiffels, which was shot by Peterka. A minute later, however, he excelled as he dealt with a Kahuna raid. In the first period, the French tested Niederberger only minimally, Addam’s shot was helped by the post.
