Češi i bez nemocného kapitána Rosického a se šesti sparťany v sestavě, z nichž Vácha a Kadeřábek debutovali, byli aktivní. Často i v sedmi osmi hráčích se hrnuli dopředu, proto trpěla defenzíva. Finové vedle dvou branek měli za stavu 2:1 další dvě velké šance.. Even without the injured captain Rosický and with six Sparta Prague players in the line-up, of which Vácha and Kadeřábek debuted, the Czechs were active. Even in seven or eight players, they often rushed forward, which is why the defense suffered. Besides the two goals, the Finns had two more great chances in a 2-1 lead..
