Report

Team France scored its 1st goal already 46 seconds into the game, when French captain Marion Dalzotto rebounded a shot from the crease. French girls had one more big chance but then Team Slovakia, which plays at their first championship ever, equaled the play and missed a good opportunity to equalize the game in their one-woman advantage. However, they were unable to score a goal. Later they got punished when Dalzotto found Rangeon who added a second goal.

And what is more, in 18th minute French girls scored a shorthanded goal and sent Slovakian goalie Jana Tistanova to the bench. She was replaced by Zuziakova. "We did all we could. It is our debut at the World championship and it was not that bad," said Romana Vargova. A group of Slovakian fans kept cheering and supporting their players but that did not help to beat French goalie Bidet.

French did not allow Slovakians to create chances and kept the game under their control. "Our win today is very important for us, it will encourage us into our following games," said the best player of team France Marion Dalzotto. French players then added more goals. Delthon add the fourth and Serre closed the account of the game. "We have to get used to such style of play, it takes a while," said Vargova.

French goalie Binet showed a very good performance and still did not alllow a single goal at the tournament. "Our team is very young because many experienced players are not here. If the luck will be with us, we can make a good result here," a French captain smiled.

Comments

Ivana Gajdosova (coach of Team Slovakia): I think our performance was very good, I can only praise our players. Some Czech media does not have faith in us, but we are mewcomers here and play a high-quality game. we play in-line hockey only three or four months and we had no preparation game, so I think it was good.

Eric Perraudin (coach of Team France): It was tough at the start of the game, we are not used to play the type of hockey Slovakian girls play. They played a good game. We needed to earn a victory and we made it. We are satisfied with the course and result of the game.
