The Swedes were big favorites before meeting against a Switzerland that has been struggling with illness lately. On Monday, Switzerland had to cancel training after eight players struggled with stomach ailments. It did not seem to characterize the team significantly against a tame Sweden. Switzerland seemed to row one point ashore for a long time, but ten minutes before the end, a Swedish 19-year-old was to steal the show. Hanna Bennison was allowed to stand unmarked in the 16-meter and knocked in the winning goal for the Swedes – who take their first victory in the EC group game. – It is an indescribable, completely magical feeling, Bennison said about the goal in an interview shown on TV 2. Sweden struggled for a long time against Switzerland, and must not take advantage of the chances in the second round. – It is a very mixed match I think. It was difficult for us to score goals it seemed. Switzerland was quite low through the match, which made it challenging to create chances and get through, said the match winner about the match. DREAM MEETING: The Swedish shooting star Bennison kept up with a rush from just outside the 16-meter.

The Swedes had to endure a lot of criticism during the break – especially considering the difficult charge for Switzerland, which had eight players and eleven in the support system out with stomach illness on Monday. – The first half is under all criticism from the Swedish side, said Expressen’s commentator Anna Friberg. – If Switzerland has now had stomach ailments in the team, Sweden must have had a major outbreak of dysentery and scurvy, wrote Aftonbladet’s commentator Marcus Leifby. CHEERS: Ramona Bachmann celebrates with her teammates after the 1-1 goal.

Ramona Bachmann performed admirably for Solo. It was still Sweden who could cheer the loudest in the end. The Swedes had good control after Bennison’s goal. During the last ten minutes, Sweden had two goals canceled signed Rebecka Blomqvist. The victory means that Sweden is up to four points, and currently leads group C. – It feels great to be able to enter the match in this way and decide it as well, said 19-year-old Bennison after the match. TOTAL: Hanna Bennison received a well-deserved tribute after she set the winning goal for Sweden.
