After more than ten seconds, the result became a draw, this time the ricochet worked in favor of the Latvian national team. Brodin skated the puck into the goal after a shot by Robert Mamcic. In the middle of the second third, Dalins earned a five-minute penalty and suspension until the end of the game for a rough attack on Harald Egle near the edge, but the numerical majority remained unrealized.

Sweden had an even more productive streak than the Latvians in scoring goals, scoring three goals in half a minute.
