The match played at 12 o'clock local time had its turning point in the fourth end, when the Russians managed to steal a deuce and went up 1 : 3. The match, which was zero in five ends, showed strong signs of defensive concept, but we tried to create something throughout. Chances did come, and they came in the form of a scrambled deuce a total of three times. We even created a chance for a three at the end with the score at 1-4, but Portunova's accurate runback ruined our hopes for tonight's semi-final. So we will play either the Russians or the Japanese for bronze tomorrow at 13.00.
