    Zechovska caught a long dump in and let go for a teammate, but it's Slovaks who collect it in the end.

    Dzurinova stepped in goal crease and forces her team to leave the zone.

    Even Zechovska makes one more save with the game closing down in third.
     
    42:46
    A big portion of luck for the Slovaks as well. Krizova's shot from the slot gets deflected up high and slowly fells on top of goal right behind top post. Tomcikova would never get there on time.

    Krizova and Manhartova got into a 2-on-1 situation in front of Tomcikova, both girls traded passes for Manhartova to finish but Tomcikova makes an excellent save to her left post!
     
    41:55
    Long distance shot from Herzigova goes straight to the glove of Tomcikova. Just like many more before.
