Georgia’s national ice hockey team defeated Australia with a score of 3:2 in the second division match of Group A of the World Championship at the Pista de Hielo rink in Madrid.
The hockey team earned the win with two goals by Ivan Karelin, along with one goal contributed by Dimitri Ermoshenko. Danila Slesarev has been named the best player from the Georgian squad.
The Georgian team defeated Iceland, Israel and Croatia in Group A, with only one loss against the host team of the tournament - Spain.
Georgia holds second place with 12 points in Group A, with a chance to advance to first place if Croatia wins over Spain later tonight, after which the goals scored in the head-to-head matches will be counted to reveal the winner.
If Georgia is able to take first place in the Group, the national team will be promoted to the first division of the Championship.
