The Olympic hockey tournament in Italy ended like a real movie: the US national team won the gold medal in the final, defeating Canada in overtime with a score of 2:1.
The main time of the match ended with a score of 1:1 - no one chose the "easy" path. The decisive moment came in overtime: Jack Hughes's goal gave the USA a victory, and the fans a heart-to-heart final.
Why was the final particularly noteworthy?
This was also recorded as the third final clash between the U.S. and Canada for Olympic gold. That is, if these two teams meet, naturally, dramaturgy will also be a "plus."
The US team has previously won Olympic gold twice in history - in the 1960s and 1980s. Now their list of gold has increased by one more.
Canada has won Olympic men's ice hockey championship nine times, with the last time they won gold in 2014.
Bronze was also a "big talk"
In the match for third place, Finland defeated Slovakia 6-1, winning bronze medals.
Conclusion
After this final, one thing is clear: in hockey, "one puck - one fate." The USA waited until the end, and Canada, as usual, fought until the last second. And the fans? They remember this night for a long time - because such overtime doesn't happen every day.
