Bill Gilligan was pleased after the game: ‘We started off pretty well. In the first and third periode we often showed our quality. Still it was a very even game in the first periode. Especially in the third period we took over control. If we want to beat Ukraine tomorrow, we will have to play better then we have did during this week. Ukraine is a difficult opponent. They are so talented offensively, that's why they scored so many goals this tournament. We have to play disciplined to beat them.'
