In the semifinals, a replay of the 2019 controversial World Cup final against the USA awaits. It was in Finland that he thought he had won a historic gold, but the extra time goal was ruled out after a long video review and the United States then won on penalties.
- We are motivated. But I do not think it has anything to do with Espoo (where the World Cup was played). It was a bitter, bitter experience. Now we are building a new team and want success, says national team captain Pasi Mustonen to iihf.com.
The United States crushed Japan in the quarterfinals by 10-2. The semi-final between Finland and the USA will be played on Monday night, while the other, Canada-Switzerland, will be played on Tuesday night, Swedish time. Both matches are broadcast on SVT.
