Thea Johansson's 1–0 early in the second period was Sweden's only goal during regular time – despite a large advantage in the game and a whopping 35–14 in shots.

Switzerland needed fewer chances to equalize, taking the match to a goalless extra time and to a penalty shootout.

There, Lena Marie Lutz secured the Swiss victory.

I think we create a lot more chances than they do. We have more gears to shift but we can't match them. We're falling behind their pace," says Ida Karlsson to SVT.

I think we're getting to the hot spot and we're where we need to be. But their goalie played well. We saved the goals for tomorrow (Saturday), I hope.

The next match for Sweden is already on Saturday at 4:00 PM. The meeting with Finland will determine which nation will win the tournament in Ängelholm.
