Sweden took an easy win against Austria tonight and won by 7-0, same result as Russia when they beat Austria. And for the fourth time this tournament the Swedish anthem sounded after the game.

Adrian Kempe score on Sweden’s first powerplay and Sweden had 1-0 in the middle of the first period. Sweden scored a second goal in the end of first period when Rakell and Janmark came 2vs1 and Rakell pass to Janmark that had open goal.

In the middle period Sweden went from 2-0 to 5-0 with yet another powerplay goal, this time from Rakell. And in the last period Sweden scored another pair of goals. Significant for the game was that Sweden had very good chemistry in every line and everything clicked. Both teams fans sang and was very happy and the love for the game and teams was in the air.
