Defender of the Italian national team Alexander Egger became the author of a curious own goal in the match of the group stage of the World Hockey Championship against the team of Denmark. The video was posted on YouTube channel Sports Videos. Egger got the puck in his zone, stumbled and fell. In the fall, the hockey player accidentally sent the puck into his own net, which at that time was empty. Team Italy on Monday, May 15, ceded to the team of Denmark with a score of 0: 2 and lost the chances of retaining a place in the elite division. The Italians suffered a defeat in all seven World Cup matches, gaining one point.
