The Austrians started strongly, but were unable to capitalize on two power plays, including 1:25 minutes with two men more, to score a goal. The more highly rated Slovaks then got into their stride and took the lead through Peter Cehlarik (14th). The former NHL forward and current Sweden legionnaire slid a rebound into the net.
No debacle, but no goal either
Last year, Austria suffered a 1:7 debacle against the Slovaks at the start of the tournament, but this time team boss Roger Bader's team held their own against the World Championship quarter-finalists. The Austrians showed good offensive actions in the middle third, such as a chance by Benjamin Baumgartner (35').
The team led by captain Clemens Unterweger also played on an equal footing in the final third, with goalkeeper David Kickert also providing reliable support. In the final period, the Austrians had chances to equalize through Ali Wukovits (55') and Vinzenz Rohrer (57'), but without a successful finish.
