In the second period, both teams added a goal each, keeping the score 5-2 in Denmark’s favour. The momentum continued in the third period, as Damm secured his fourth and Dorph also scored his second for Denmark.

Czechia’s Radosta scored a consolation goal in the final minute, but Denmark’s 10-goal tally was no match, as they secured a convincing 10-3 victory.

Group D
Moldova win 5-2 against Belgium.
First period saw a goal each for both teams, first by Belgium’s Deportbecker and soon followed by Ignat for Moldova, just minutes apart, ending the period 1-1.

After picking up two yellow cards and a red in the first period, Moldova recorded another yellow and a red in the second period, which remained goalless for both sides.

The final period saw even more disciplinary issues, with one yellow card for Moldova and three for Belgium. Despite this, Moldova pulled through with goals from Turta and Florea’s hat-trick, securing a 5-2 victory to grab their first win in two games. Belgium’s late goal from Hanon was insufficient to prevent defeat.

The Lithuanians extended their lead in the second period, courtesy of Novićkov’s strike. Malta struggled to find their footing, earning two yellow cards but failed to find the back of the net.

In the third period, Lithuania sealed the win with additional two goals from Borščevskis and Lebedevas to a 5-0 scoreline, which reflected their dominance, as they restricted Malta to a goalless performance. The Lithuanians finally got their fist win in three games.

Switzerland win 9-5 against France.
Laassami opened the scoring for France early in the first period, but this was cut short soon by Switzerland’s quick response with Borer’s goal and Stankovic’s brace that gave them a 3-1 lead into the second period.

Switzerland continued their attack in the second period, scoring three more goals courtesy of Eliot and Hodel’s brace, extending their advantage to 6-1.
