Victories against Switzerland and Finland.
On Sunday afternoon, Tre Kronor faced the Czech Republic in the fight for first place in the tournament in Zurich, Switzerland.
The Swedes took the lead after 14.26 in the first period through Sebastian Hartmann.
The Czech equalizer came 12.59 into the second. On a goalkeeper return from Daniel Marmenlind, after a mispass by Christian Folin, Robert Kousal was able to put the puck in easily.
But it only took barely two minutes before Tre Kronor was back in the lead.
Pontus Andreasson scored his first national team goal after a beautiful attack.
With barely a minute left in the so-called intermediate act, Sweden had a brilliant chance to make it 3-1 on penalties. Marcus Sörensen, who was called, took the penalty himself. After deceiving the goalkeeper, the puck unfortunately ended up in the post.
The expert: “Must continue to persevere”
– Sweden must continue to endure, and deal with the Czech Republic’s pressure. They will release the handbrake each, Erik Granqvist’s analysis in Viaplay before the third period.
And one who had even more power in legs and club was Pontus Andreasson.
The goal, which meant 2–1, gave the Luleå player plenty of confidence.
With eleven minutes left, Malte Strömwall broke a Czech attack, the puck ended up with Andreasson, who was able to put in 3-1 between the legs of Dominik Pavlát.
Before this tournament, Leksand’s Lucas Elvenes had not played in the national team for many years – and had not scored a goal either.
When he thundered in 4-1 on a direct shot, Elvenes was able to write a complete hit in the previously empty column.
The Czech Republic refused to surrender. Petr Kodytek saw with 4–2 that the team was back in the match. The Swedish lead then shrunk further with Daniel Vozenilek’s 4–3 in game five against six.
The tournament victory was at hand when Marcus Sörensen made it 5-3 in an empty net with only seconds left.
