U20 Worlds » The Swiss U20 team successfully entered the world championship yesterday in Trinec, Czech Republic. She won 5-3 against Kazakhstan, but without convincing. The young Helvetians suffered more than expected against the Kazakhs, especially in the first two-thirds. On three occasions, they took the advantage, but conceded equalization in stride or almost. They also benefited from a bit of success: in the 3-2 awarded to Salzgeber (31st), goalkeeper Nurek made an autogoal. And on 5-3, Butenko deflected the puck out of his goalkeeper’s reach. ats
