YULIN, China, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) -- Finland defeated Slovakia 5-4 for its third straight victory to win the Yulin Tourism Investment futsal tournament in Yulin, northwest China's Shaanxi Province on Sunday.
The game was tied at 4-4 with one minute remaining. Looking to win, Slovakia dispatched a squad without a goalkeeper, but Olli Poylio's lob with four seconds secured Finland's victory.
"It was really a tough game, but when we equalized 4-4, we knew how to prevent their flying goalkeeper. I'm very happy to win this trophy," Poylio said.
Also on Sunday, David Drozd scored a hat-trick as the Czech Republic sailed past China 6-1 to finish runner-up with a superior goal difference over Slovakia. China sat bottom of the standings with three consecutive defeats. ■
