Sweden is chasing its ninth straight World Cup gold. In the WC premiere in Singapore, the Swedish national team got an easy trip against Slovakia.
Sweden made the move immediately with two goals in two minutes. After that, the goals continued to come at a steady pace and the final score was finally written at a full 20-3.
However, there was a little smoke in the Swedish cup after the victory. Ida Sundberg, 29, was forced to leave injured after a situation at the beginning of the third period.
– That didn’t look fun. It is not good at all if she gets injured, a key player for Sweden, says commentator Chris Härenstam in the broadcast.

In the big victory, Wilma Johansson was top scorer with her four goals.
– It was a very fun match to play. We go in and show that we want to control the match. We do what we have to do, she says after the match.
In addition, national team veteran Emelie Wibron, 31, took the opportunity to make history.
Wibron, who was named the world’s best floorball player last year, was noted for five points and thus passed Anna Wijk as the best scorer in the World Cup of all time.
Sweden’s next match in the World Cup is on Monday, when they face the Czech Republic.
