It was never going to be easy,... but the South Korean men's ice hockey team went into their playoff qualification game on Tuesday night,... hoping to keep their medal hopes alive.
Taking on world number-four Finland at the Gangneung Hockey Centre,... South Korea battled back from a 3-0 deficit,... but fell short... eventually losing 5-2 and watching their last shot at the quarterfinals slip away.
South Korea, ranked 21st in the world,... lost all three of their previous matches.
They managed just three goals and gave away 19 in the process.
