Tuesday was the final day of the preliminary round at this year’s World Championships. The day had some heartbreak and some big successes. But now that’s over, there are eight teams left and they will play single-elimination games until only one is left to take the gold medal.
Denmark lost a heartbreaker to Latvia 1-0 on Tuesday, so their run is over. Frederik Andersen was stellar, but his team couldn’t score on Elvis Merzlikins, who was also excellent. Latvia earned the fourth spot in Group B. The reward for winning that game is a date with the top team in Group A, which after the final match in that group is Sweden.
