Switzerland also won their second game at the U20 World Cup in Canada.
Switzerland is on course for the quarter-finals at the U20 World Cup in Canada. After the 3:2 win in the penalty shoot-out against Latvia, Marco Bayer’s team already has 4 points after 2 games. This means that she can make it through to the knockout phase in the game against the USA on Thursday (10:00 p.m. CET).
After beating Finland 3-2 in extra time, Switzerland struggled against Latvia for a long time and went into the final period with a 2-1 deficit. Despite a 9:1 shot in the last third, it was still 1:2 2 minutes before the siren – when Switzerland was already playing without a goalie.
But with the 10th shot in the 3rd period, the Nati equalized. Defender Rodwin Dionicio took a shot from the blue line, Jonas Taibel blocked the keeper’s view – and the disc smashed into the goal.
After goalless extra time, the penalty shoot-out had to decide. The first 10 shooters all failed. Then Latvia took the lead through Dans Lomelis. But Attilio Biasca then kept his nerve and kept Switzerland in the game. After that, Darel’s Dukurs failed, allowing Liekit Reichle to secure victory.
