The last match of the day at the Twinsbet Arena between the national teams of Ukraine and the Netherlands had to be stopped before the first half had even been played.
9 minutes left by the end of it, the teams had to be sent to the locker room due to the broken ice on the side of the field next to the sideboard. The Ukrainians, supported by about half a dozen fans, were leading 1-0 at the time.
After the field was fixed, the fight was allowed to continue after a dozen minutes.
