Canada and the Netherlands - two absolutely equal teams met. During the main time the team managed to lead the score only once (in the second period the Canadian led 3:1). In the rest of the time game went with equal score. Everything was settled in the second period of the overtime when two accurate throws of the Dutch player Amarens Genee let the team get to the semi-final.

     Ilse SINDORF, head coach of the Netherlands: - We played not so good and we needed two overtimes to prove that we were stronger. Now the mission is to recreate forces before tomorrow's semi-final.

     Damani NISHANT, the head coach of the Canadian team: - This was very long and difficult game. During the whole time of the match the teams were very close to each other. We really expected to win medals on this championship. Unfortunately we didn’t manage to win them, but in general I am happy with the results of the team this year.
