Early in the third period, Prokofyeva and Timofeeva put Russia ahead (6:5). Gorbunova added a goal from a counter-attack, while Simanovich and Prokofyeva gave Russia a big 9:5 advantage. Italy was able to come back. It scored two goals in the last 36 seconds of the quarter. Gariboti converted a penalty shot early in the fourth, while Bianconi equalized in the 29th minute (9:9).

The tournament in Gwangju was a disappointment for both sides. The Netherlands made two steps further comparing to Budapest 2017 when the team was 9th. However, as the European champion and Europa cup winner, the Netherlands team wanted to enter a battle for medals. But, they weren’t close to wins in the most important games (against the USA, Spain, Italy).

Greece, which was 7th in Budapest, also didn’t play as it was expected. The Greeks suffered a few losses with a big difference, as well as the Netherlands.
