Sweden, on the other hand, missed the early entry into the quarter-finals. The eleven-time world champion lost to the USA in Group B in Tampere 2: 3 (1: 1, 0: 1, 1: 0, 0: 1) after extra time. After the first defeat in the fifth game, Tre Kronor is in second place with twelve points, ahead of the third in the World Cup (10 points).
Olympic champion Finland was the first team to qualify for the quarter-finals on Friday with a 6-0 win against relegation candidate Great Britain.
