Five Nations. Russia U17 - Finland U17 - 1:2
The under 17 Russian national team played Finland for the third match of the Five Nations tournament in Brno, the Czech Republic.
It took a while for the match to get going, but in the second period, Russia's Yury Platonov eventually opened the scoring. However, unfortunately, that proved to be Russia's only positive moment of the match. Finland scored two in the third frame to win the match, and Russian captain Alexander Khovanov was taken off with what looked like a serious injury.
Tomorrow, the team will face the Czech Republic in the competition's final game.
