It looked dark for a long time for the Swedes in tonight’s match against Switzerland in the Lidl Hockey Games in Södertälje.
Because even though it was Sweden who led the game for most of the match, it was Switzerland who led for a long time.
This was when Switzerland took the lead in the seventh minute, after great carelessness by Sweden in the defensive game.
Just before the goal, Scherizian Sinja Leemann’s stick had broken. But despite the fact that there were three Swedes around her, the puck eventually went, somewhat fortunately, to Rahel Enzler, who put it 1-0 behind Emma Söderberg in the Swedish box.
– It’s too bad defensive play, notes SVT Sports expert Maria Rooth.
Switzerland kept the lead for a long time, but in the third period Lina Ljungblom was finally able to score two goals and Sweden won the match.
