In the first two-thirds of the match in Prague, the foreign team dominated the match and scored six goals to establish a reassuring advantage, leading 6-1 heading into the final 20 minutes. But in the third stage, it seemed as if a miracle had happened with the European team, and taking advantage of the fact that the Canadian team defended more strongly than before, it approached step by step. What's more, he scored five goals from nine shots – the last one from Marco Rossi with 49 seconds left – and managed to level the score!
As the summary stated, if the Austrians had won, it would have been the biggest resurrection of the World Cup. But they didn't know it, because extra time lasted just 15 seconds, with John Tavares scoring for Austria immediately after a throw-in.
