In a first very onesided match, then a bit boring second period, and from half time on very exciting and intens game Sweden beat World Champion Finland 5:4. Now Sweden will play Switzerland tomorrow at 20.00h. The first period was quite even, but only Finland scored and went to tee with a 3:0 advance. Nothing was to be seen of the glamorous combination play of the Swedes. But when Dahlerus scored the first goal for Sweden the match slowly turned. At first the Finns were able to keep up to the pressure of the Swedes and lead 4:2 after 40 minutes. After the break Sweden tightened the grip and scored twice within a short time! The match could begin again... In minute 53 it was Dahlerus who scored the winning goal for Sweden. After the game best player Kettunen said she wasn`t disappointed, just totally empty...
