A day without surprises in Budapest World Championship Division I: while the host have its rest round, Spain managed to score its first goals in Division I against Netherlands, but the opponents, with vetaran Phil Groeneveld between the pipes, replied the scoring eight times. When Carlos Quevedo at 44:20 deleted the "zero" in the Spanish "goals for" box, Netherlands had already added six in the "goals against" one. Another goal by Juan Josè Palacin and a post hit by Guillermo Betran completed a positive performance giving optimism for the decisive game against Korea.

At night Italy continues its campaign waiting for a "final" against Hungary, hammering Korea with six goals.
