Red Bull - Russia U20 - 2:4

The Russian under 20 national team played their final Four Nations game against Red Bull. Head coach Valery Bragin gave goalkeeper Dmitry Lozebnikov his first start of the tournament.

Coming off the back of yesterday's 2:0 win against the Czech Republic, Russia began well. Andrei Revatskiy scored the opening goal within four minutes, giving the Russians a deserved advantage.

Red Bull did equalise in the second stanza, but quickfire goals from Kirill Koshurnikov and Alexander Kalinin in the third put Russia back in the driving seat. Austrian club Red Bull got to within one late on, however a Russian empty netter scored by Marsel Sholokhov sealed a 4:2 win!

If Finland lose any points in their games against the Czechs and Slovaks, Russia U20 will take first place in the competition table.
