The Russian national team in a stubborn struggle, and only in shootouts, beat the Swedish team in the semifinals of the 2022 Olympiad hockey tournament.
The Russians started very actively – they threw a lot more, they pressed. It was alarming when ours ran into a removal, but these two minutes were clearly defended. Unfortunately, no victory was awarded on points in hockey, but the Russian hockey players “corrected” already in the first minute of the second period, when the Moscow soldier Anton Slepyshev broke through to the gate and outplayed the goalkeeper.
The “ROC team”, more and more reminiscent of the “Red Car”, seemed to be about to crush the Scandinavians, but they recovered and Ivan Fedotov had to sweat.
Still, the Swedes fought back. Lander scored in the 47th minute. 1:1.
The game went into overtime and then into shootouts. The first five ended in a draw – 2:2. I had to throw before a decisive miss or hit. The victory was brought by Arseniy Gritsyuk, presenting all Russian spectators with the final of the Olympics.
The winner will have a match for “gold” with the Finnish national team, the losers will compete for third place with the Slovaks.
