We have such an incredible team spirit, and we have such a belief in ourselves. We fight hard, we are a true team, and now we just want to enjoy this evening as a team after we had enjoyed the match as a team.

Right wing, Sweden
We go to the break with Spain narrowly on top, but Sweden goalkeeper Andreas Palicka is one of the stars of the show so far, with seven saves — and what saves they have been. On the other side, Angel Fernandez is the top scorer for Spain but Aleix Gómez has really proven his value in both this first half and the semi-final. He showed remarkable leadership for someone playing on the wing against Denmark in the semi-final, and just scored the goal to give Spain the advantage right before the break.

Vincent Gerard was ready to play today for sure. After a performance below his best in the semi-final against Sweden, he held a mighty 61 per cent save rate after 17 minutes in this bronze-medal game, although Niklas Landin has since improved his own rate and both keepers end the half with 12 saves. But the keepers are not the only standout individuals in this clash — France wings Hugo Descat and Yanis Lenne were responsible for all France’s goals until past the 10-minute mark. For Denmark, Jacob Holm was the only player to score more than one until the 22nd minute, when he already tallied five. So, we have some heroes emerging in this match — who will be rewarded with the medal?
