Group C
Italy win 6-1 against Belgium
Italy produced a dominant display to cruise to a comfortable victory against Belgium. After a goal-less first period, the deadlock was broken when Belgium drew first blood through Tanguy early in the second period, but Italy quickly responded when Josep Jr levelled the score 1-1.

A belgian own-goal puts the Italians ahead 2-1, as the Azzurri seized absolute control of the match with Bertacca firing them ahead to a two goal cushion. And right before the second period came to a close, Remedi struck to make it 4-1 for the Italians heading into the interval.

The final period saw Italy comfortably manage their commanding advantage while adding gloss to the scoreline. Sassari struck midway through the period to make it 5-1, and Fazzini capped off the stellar performance with a clinical finish in the dying minutes to seal the comprehensive 6-1 triumph.

Moldova win 2-1 against Kazakistan

The hosts capitalised on their momentum shortly after, as Ignat found the back of the net to extend Moldova’s advantage to 2-0. Kazakhstan fought valiantly to find a way back into the match as the game progressed into the final period.

Hopes of a comeback were ignited when Muralinov pulled a goal back for Kazakhstan early in the third period. However, Moldova held firm under intense late pressure to successfully see out the remainder of the match and claim the narrow 2-1 triumph.

Denmark secured a thrilling victory over Germany in the opening match of Group D.

Germany mounted a spirited comeback as the match progressed into the second period, cutting the deficit when Olli found the net at game restart to reduce the deficit 3-2 for the German side. The German pressure continued to mount after the restart in the third and final period, and with three minutes left on the clock, Mülling struck to level the score at 3-3, forcing extra time.

With the tension at its peak in the dying stages of the game, the decisive moment arrived when Damm netted the winning goal to seal the hard-fought 4-3 triumph for Denmark.

The second period remained tightly contested and scoreless as both defenses held firm, keeping Ukraine’s comfortable 3-0 advantage intact heading into the final interval.

Estonia tried to find a way back into the match early in the third period when Kigaste found the net early in the period.
