Britain held a one-point advantage at the end of the first three of four periods – 14-13, 28-27 and 41-40 respectively. Jamie Stead gave his side breathing space with 25 seconds remaining, stretching the lead to three points before Kaare Momme Nielsen scored at the last to make it a final score of 55-53.
