Not without trembling, the Swiss team won a 6th victory in 6 matches at the world championship in Helsinki. Patrick Fischer’s men beat France 5-2 with difficulty.
If Switzerland ended up winning, they completely missed their first third. A 5 once morest 3 of 99 seconds overused, an opener from Texier on a gift from Corvi, a penalty for the Habs when there was already 2-0, Patrick Fischer’s men lined up errors and technical waste.
The Swiss were nevertheless able to correct the situation from the start of the second break. Hischier reduced the score following just 25 seconds in the middle period. Then it was Damien Riat who deflected a shot from Geisser in the 33rd minute and scored his first goal in the white cross jersey. And the eternal Andres Ambühl, in power-play, allowed his team to take the lead. Kukan, then Hischier (in the empty cage) finished the job.
7 out of 7 on Tuesday?
The Swiss team now have a meeting once morest Germany on Tuesday at 11:20 a.m. to definitively secure 1st place in the group in the event of a victory. This would allow Fischer’s players to stay in Helsinki and face the 4th in Group B in the quarterfinals and thus avoid playing Sweden and Finland.
