Task not completed. Ukraine U-20 lost the decisive match at the World Cup in dramatic fashion

The Ukrainian youth hockey team played its last match in the 1B League at the U-20 World Championship. The winner of the meeting is promoted in class.

The opponent was the Slovenian U-20 team, which was playing at home and was the favourite. As a result, the Slovenian team won 5:3 and was promoted to League 1A.

The game turned out to be exciting. Ukraine made a comeback, losing 0:2, and in the second period not only won back, but also took the lead. Unfortunately, a mistake by the goalkeeper allowed the Slovenians to make the score 3:3 before the second half.

At the beginning of the third 20 minutes, the mistake made by the defender who gave the puck to the opponent in front of the goal led to Slovenia’s fourth goal, and soon the opponent team scored again.

Ukraine U-20 failed to mount another comeback and remained in Group 1B, but the team was tasked with winning their group.
