Russia is the first team to Saturday’s World Championship final after a strong victory against Finland. The Finnish team held up well until the half-time rest, but then Russia could go away through a quick lead goal after the break.
The victory was fair and the Russian team was stronger in the end. But Finland will have a praise for its two efforts against Russia in the two latest games. Maxim Ishkeldin was again great player in Russia.
