  • The Swiss U-20 team also lost the second group match at the World Cup in Gothenburg.
  • Marcel Genie's side has no chance against gold favorites USA at 3:11.
  • At the end of the group stage, Switzerland (Saturday) and the Czech Republic (Sunday) await.

At least Switzerland managed to make the final third somewhat balanced. After just 78 seconds of play, Gael Christie scored with a perfect wrist shot to make it 2:9. After 8 minutes, Thierry Schild also converted the ball. Section 2-2 ends.

However, no problem for the favorite Americans: thanks to the 11:3, they also won their second match in Group B and took the lead in the table.

The third hat-trick and the solo dream

The favorite started like a fire department: Just 80 seconds later, Will Smith shocked Switzerland for the first time. As a result, the five-time U20 world champion withdrew. Jimmy Snuggerud alone scored a hat-trick in the first third. After all, Gregory Weber put Switzerland on the scoreboard 10 minutes later with a brilliant solo run.

Because of defeat (After an initial 3-0 defeat to Slovakia), the Swiss team now sits at the bottom of the group with 0 points, with matches against Norway and the newly promoted Czech Republic still on hold. However, 4 out of 5 teams qualified to the quarter-finals.
