Down 2-0 after the first period, Switzerland managed to erase the deficit thanks to goals by Jan Hornecker and Nick Meile, and made it to overtime. A hooking penalty by Rodwin Dionicio would spell the end for the Swiss group - Axel Sandin Pelikka scored on the powerplay for Sweden, taking his team to the semifinal.
