World) v. Canada.

The USA got off to a very strong start, going 2-0 down in less than five minutes, thanks to Alex Tosh and Rocco Grimaldi. However, the German reaction was crippling and allowed Kreiss’ men to win back the score even before the break, thanks to Friedrich Tevels (in numerical superiority) and Maximilian Zuber.

The Germans also started the central period better, thanks to a few seconds of a double numerical advantage, but then the Americans grew and closed in on the new advantage with Grimaldi (the puck was stopped by a skate on the goal line by Niederberger) and then pulled ahead in the middle of the game through Michel Esimont.

The North Americans defended the lead well after that. However, Casey DeSmith had a really big scare six minutes into the 60th minute, as Jonas Müller hit the crossbar. However, Germans are certainly not the type to give up easily and so, after risking a Grimaldi counter-attack, they called Matthias Niederberger to the bench with 1’40” to go and were rewarded with a Marcel Noebbels goal twenty seconds later.
