Slovakia - Austria 1-2

Thomas Vanek did what he does best: score goals. Rastislav Stana in Slovakia's goal was defenceless when the Austrian sniper snapped the puck top-shelf, and led his team to a 2-1 shootout win over Slovakia. Gerhard Unterluggauer scored Austria's goal in regulation time, Tomas Surovy got one for Slovakia. Austria dominated the overtime, and Slovakia didn't even have any puck possession in Austria's zone, looking ready to take their chances in a penalty shootout instead.
