In the Bronze match Finland met Czech Republic. The two teams had met already during the Group round, when Finland won them with a two-goal difference. The Bronze match was no different. Even though Czech Republic had more dangerous scoring chances, they were unable to use them, which cost them their victory. Finland were able to score their first goal on power play and the second goal was scored at the end of the second period into an empty net. Though the Finns were disappointed that they weren’t in the final, the reigning World Champions didn’t need to leave Wroclaw without a medal. Read the full match report here.
