Finland made it's way to the semi finals of the Host Cup by beating Croatia five to three. The game was tightly contested to the very end with Finland leading three different times and Croatia scoring to tie the game. Two late goals by Ville Nurmi and Patrick Kulmala gave Finland the needed margin for victory. The other three goals were scored by Hans Koivu. Finland will play Philippines in the semi final with the winner playing the winner of the Namibia - Norway game for the Host Cup trophy. There are no injuries to report and the team is looking eagerly to tomorrow's contest . What makes the game interesting is that Finland and the Philippines team have been staying in the same hostel and have become good friends.
Friday evening the team was treated to a dinner at Restaurane Reisel by Maukka. Looked to me like they all enjoyed it.
