The U16 national team won 3:2 (0:0; 1:0; 2:2) against the hosts at the start of the international match series in Vierumäki (Finland).
After a balanced start, a hard-working team led by U16 national coach Uli Liebsch was able to take a 1-0 lead in the second half of the game thanks to a goal from Tim Fleischer. In the final third things happened in quick succession: initially the Finns equalized, but Leon Huttl restored the original gap with his power-play goal before Finland equalized again just a few seconds later. Dennis Lobach then scored the winning goal a few seconds before the end of the game on a pass from Dominik Bokk and Maximilian Eis.
Uli Liebsch (U16 national coach): “We showed a very good running performance today and appeared confident, not passive. That was certainly the key to victory today.”
