It was Kovyrshin who scored it putting some pressure on the Swiss that needed at least one point to win the group. But it seems like Switzerland have better mental strength than in some earlier tournaments and the Swiss recovered with three consecutive goals to win 4-1.

First veteran Mahias Seger made i 2-1 with nine minutes left and later Julian Walker added two goals to finish off the game. Switzerland will now play the winner of Czech Republic and Norway in the quarter final. Probably without Reto Suri who suffered a knee injury in the game. Belarus finished seventh in the group and has a lot to improve until the 2014 World Championship on home ice.
