Slovakia secures spot in next years World Championship

17 May 2014 | Andreas Reiner

Slovakia wins their games against Italy 4:1.

Slovakia's three unanswered goals from Marek Daloga in the 11th, Marek Viedensky in the 24th and Tomas Tatar in the 35th minute secured the win and remain in the top group. Italy's Captain Alexander Egger got his Team on the scoreboard a first time in the 39th minute. A Slovak powerplay with 2 Italians on the bench led to the 4th goal by Michel Miklik at 48:07 and with that the Slovaks took the victory.

For Slovakia and Switzerland the, so far, disappointing World Championship won't end with a nightmare but some headache. Both Teams require help from other countries to reach the knock-out stage which is not impossible but very unlikely. Switzerland will play Latvia in their last game while Slovakia faces Denmark on Tuesday.
