A big question was how the Swiss would defend without defense chief Samuel Röthlisberger, who had a hand injury. They did that convincingly in the first half. In the first thirty minutes, the locals only conceded eleven goals, which is a very good figure. Goalkeeper Nikola Portner recorded a 42 percent save percentage (32 percent) with seven saves (14 total) in the first half.
The Swiss also did well offensively. They took the lead 3-0, but the Romanians did not get closer than one goal: 6-7 (16th minute). The maximum lead was eight goals (29:21/50).
The 40-year-old top director Andy Schmid, who will replace Michael Suter as national coach after this season, distinguished himself as a ten-time goalscorer. He scored all five penalties. Manuel Zehnder, currently top scorer in the Bundesliga, was successful seven times, although he only came into action after the break.
The Swiss will meet Bosnia-Herzegovina in their second match on Friday. Argentina is the last opponent on Saturday. (SDA)
