Korea wins against a unmotivated Belarus in an afternoon to remember for Sang Hoon Shin, scoring all the goals for his team

Korea closes a World Championship confirming the vocation to be an erratic team, capable of beating in the comeback a Top Division team as Belarus, even if unmotivated, after losing 12 hours before with relegated Lithuania. The game, even with the status of almost a friendly, since both teams had already completed their task, has pretty battled, decided in the third period after the advantage of Belarus scored by Artem Demkov at 02:39 and the answer of Korea, taking advantage of a wrong pass by Valentin Feoktistov, at 28:48 with Sang Hoon Shin. The Sangmu forward, one of few Korean players not playing in powerful Anyang Halla, lived an unforgettable afternoon, scoring all four goals for his team, including the last one empty-net
