Finland won the men's ice hockey world championship title on Sunday evening with a 1-0 win against tournament hosts Switzerland in the final in Zurich.
The decisive goal came in overtime, when Konsta Helenius finally broke the deadlock with a solo run and finish.
The final was a tight and low-scoring affair, with the teams both goalless at the end of normal time. Finland did get the puck into the Swiss net in the first period, but the goal was ruled out for a high stick following a video review.
Sunday's win marks Finland's fifth ever championship title — coming on the back of the previous victories in 1995, 2011, 2019 and 2022.
The win has sparked scenes of celebration across Finland, especially in market squares -- as per the long-held Finnish tradition.
