The Swiss maiden team is present in the World Cup after 9 matches and 8 wins.
The team with Skip Yannick Schaller, Benoit Schwartz, Sven Michel and Pablo Lachat defeated New Zealand 7:5 late Wednesday night local time. With the eighth victory in the ninth match, CC Geneva is clearly on its way to the semi-finals. Schwaller and Co still meets Japan, USA and Sweden.
The match against New Zealand seemed decided after the seventh end and a 6:2 lead. But with a three-way home run in the ninth end, the “kiwis” came back to 5:6 before Switzerland wrote another stone at the end.
Türkiye without a chance
The two victories on the fifth day of the World Cup were purely obligatory tasks. New Zealand has only one win from 8 matches, the Turks are still not successful in these title fights. He defeated them 8: 2 unchallenged.
The class difference was already noticeable in the first end: the Swiss put stone after stone home, while the Turks failed in many of their removals. So Schwaller and Co. began. With a three-man home run they’ve managed to act with a comfortable lead behind them ever since. With a score of 2: 8, it became very colorful for the Turks after 6 finishes. They were forced to surrender.
