Akira Schmid present, but not aligned, it is Reto Berra who defended the Swiss nets today. And it was unfortunately thanks to a big mistake from the Gotteron goalkeeper that Sweden was going to – finally – take the measure of a Switzerland who had a good match. No doubt also boosted a little by the presence of Nico HischierJonas Siegenthaler and Philip Kurashev who are lined up for the first time today. It was necessary to counter the dozen Swedish NHL players present in Kloten.
The two teams were almost equal during the first period, the Swiss tried, Sweden managed without hurting themselves too much. And it is finally Fabian Zetterlund, which would pave the way to success for Tre Kronor (52nd). Fifty-seven seconds later, Jonas Brodin scored 2 to 0 on a ball of Reto Berra, tricked into an impossible angle. End of Swiss hopes despite the reduction in the score of Calvin Thurkauf.
So yes, Switzerland once again lost against its Swedish beast, but we won’t hold it against it: its overall performance was far superior to that of its last outings.
