Germany catches up 0: 3 and in the end loses
First of all, the team seemed to continue where it stopped in the 1: 5 swatter against Switzerland: after the first third it was 0: 3. Days Thompson (01:42), Frank Nazar (09:43) and Drew O’Connor (14:17) quickly provided clarity. Captain Moritz Seider spoke of one “bad start” and that the team anyway “Morality proved” have.
Because the German team got up and initially started a successful catch -up: Eric Mik (28:43), Jonas Müller (34:43) and Wojciech Stachowiak (35:31) made the equalization in the second third.
But the intermediate sprint was not enough, the USA ensured clarity in the last section: Conor Garland (44:50), Logan Cooley (56:31) and Clayton Keller (58:07) met at the end of the clear victory of the USA.
