Austria's ice hockey heroes win 5: 2 - relegation in sight!
Stockholm, Schweden - Austria's ice hockey national team won a significant victory at the World Cup in Stockholm on May 16, 2025. The team prevailed 5-2 against France in the fifth game and thus took a crucial step towards relegation. Marco Kasper, who played out in this game, opened the scoring in the first minute after serving Dominic Zwerger on the blue line in the game structure. Despite initial concerns about a possible away position, the goal was confirmed according to video evidence.
The victory was the first Austrian success of France at a World Cup since 2004. Vinzenz Rohrer and Ramon Schnetzer also wrote into the goal scorer list and expanded Austria's lead to 3-0 for the first break. While France had more parties, the domestic selection showed an extremely efficient evaluation of opportunities.
domination and challenges
In the second third, the Austrian team continued to dominate the game, but was not able to score any more goal. An injury -related moment caused a sensation when Bernd Wolf bang against the gang, but quickly raised again. In the last third, Rohrer was abandoned another goal after he committed a violation of the rules at the penalty. Despite these challenges, Jordann Perret scored the first goal for France in the 51st minute, whereupon Kasper scored the empty goal to 4: 1 in the final minute, followed by another goal by Peter Schneider.
With this victory, the Austrian team has now collected five points in Group A, which is expected to be sufficient for relegation. On Sunday, the relegation could finally be secured in a victory against Slovenia, whereby another success could also open the possibility of a decision -making game to move into the quarter -finals against Latvia. Benjamin Baumgartner, who failed in this game due to injury, should be fit for the next game against Slovenia, which further increases hopes.
historical picture and the future outlook
If you observe the previous services, the Austrian selection has also qualified for the upcoming World Cup 2026 in Switzerland. This gratifying news comes after a remarkable year for ice hockey in Austria. The comeback against Canada in 2024 from the local national team, when they caught a 1-6 deficit, remains unforgettable and describes the passion and fighting spirit of this team.
In addition, a lot has been invested in domestic ice hockey in recent months, for example by founding Win2day Austrian Women’s Hockey League to strengthen the interest in women's ice hockey. Hopefully the women's ice hockey will also experience a significant upswing and produce future talents with this offensive support.
The next few days will be crucial for the Austrian team. The fans are excited to see whether the team can use the opportunity to qualify for the quarter -finals and to live on the historic moment. According to Laola1 href = "https://kurier.at/sport/wintersport/eishockey-2025-stockholm-france-sieg-sieg-Rohrer-kasper-Klassenänge/403041949"> Kurier emphasizes that the World Cup 2026 in Switzerland is already in the planning. The story of Austria's ice hockey team, which was continued a few days ago with this historical victory against France, remains exciting and is certainly shaped by the upcoming encounters.
