Game Report The fifth game was against the American men's regional team from California(CAL) and the Korean national squad(KOR).

Even through the 2Q, CAL kept their pace without losing a bit of their concentration, and nailed 8 hard shots in a row into the KOR goal. Meanwhile, KOR had very little time for offense and couldn't get a hold of the chances they had during their offense time. Therefore, CAL kept the lead, the score becoming 12-1 at the end of the 2Q.
KOR's No.41 tried to get his team another point by putting off a 1on1 close to the crease, but failed to get the ball past the goalie, for CAL's goalie(No.21) impressed the crowd by showing a great save. But KOR's No.41 didn't overlook their next chance;he smashed in a shot for KOR soon after. But that was the last of KOR's counterattack. They weren't able to defend themselves any further from CAL's powerful offense, and the score became 17-2.
In the 4Q, CAL's goalie fascinated the audience by shooting a goal. The game ended with the final score of 23-2.
