Swiss referee in the middle: USA crushes Sweden at U20 World Cup

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 fmXrkB”>

The majority of fans at the Scandinavium in Gothenburg are hoping for Sweden’s first U20 World Cup title since 2012 – and have been bitterly disappointed. The US crashed the Tre Kronor side, beating the Swiss quarterfinal conqueror 6-2 in the final. Isaac Howard, selected by the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round of the 2022 draft, scores twice in the middle third (2-1 and 3-1).

A Swiss is also in the middle of the final: Micha Hebeisen, together with the Canadian Mark Pearce, forms the main referee duo. This occasionally causes dissatisfaction among Swedish viewers.

In the second period, Gavin Brindley only hits opponent Noah Östlund’s face when he tries to knock the puck away in the air. Therefore, no fine will be imposed. The same Östlund ended up in the cool box in the last third four minutes because he missed the goal with a volley and instead left Lane Hutson, who was fighting with Anton Johansson in the last minute, with a bleeding wound under the nose.

Target spectacle in the bronze match
