Sweden - Czech Republic 4:1 (2:1, 1:0, 1:0)

As the highlight of the evening, Sweden faced the Czech team in the duel of the suggested-best teams of Group 1. The Czech team showed a great performance beating Germany 20-1 the day before, whereas this match was the first one for team Sweden.
I started reporting from this match at the start of the second period, after Sweden was 0-1 behind and shot two goals in the first one. The Czech team was maybe even the slightly better one, but Sweden was more clever and did not waste as many chances as the Czech team did. They showed their opponents and the 1,600 spectators the difference between a great time and a world-class one. On the other hand Sweden demonstrated in a really great match, why they won all championships so far.
