Austria vs. Russia – Match Resume

Austria did a great job and challenged the favorites until the middle of the second period. Russia controlled the game, but Austria stayed dangerous and converted their chances. Especially when Austria lead early by a Hannah Riedberg goal (5th minute) and kept that score for ten minutes, there was a slight chance for a sensation. In the second period, Sandra Tonegatti closed the score to 2-3 in the 22nd minute. However, after some 30 minutes, you saw that the Austrian are not yet able to play that pace for sixty minutes. By scoring the last two goals to a final 4:13, they had a pleasing ending of the match, though. Russia did not position them too well for their final clash against Germany.

I just saw very scattered scenes of the match, so there is no opinion on it.
