Orient Lyngby (pictured) confirmed their place in Monday’s final, ensuring it would be an all-Danish decider for gold, when they began the day with a 2-1 win over SLF Mesaicos.

HC Copenhagen (DEN) – Seinäjoki United (FIN) 8-0

Copenhagen completed the group stage with a 100% record as their late flurry of goals saw them grab a strong 8-0 win over their Finnish guests.
