The first real chance of the match is for Sweden in the 8th minute, when Sara Hjalmarsson tries to unlock the result but finds a prompt response from Martina Fedel. Italy tries to reply, but without creating any real danger. At 10:10 comes the Swedish lead: Jessica Adolfsson, left free in front of the goal, finalizes at best the action built by Hanna Thuvik and Hjalmarsson herself. The Swedes also came close to doubling the score, but the blue defense held and the first period ended in balance, despite the 0-1.

In the second half, Sweden picked up the pace and at 29:36 found the 2-0 lead with Lundin, who started from her own defensive third, ran all the way down the field and beat Fedel with a precise shot into the low left corner. Italy tried to react, but at 31:47 the third Swedish goal also arrived, signed by Hjalmarsson on Karlsson’s assist. The azzurre manage to unlock at 33:30 thanks to Franziska Stocker, who scores from the central position and shortens the distance. Sweden’s response was immediate: after just 69 seconds Hanna Olsson made it 4-1 on passes from Linnea Andersson and Thea Johansson. In the final period Italy has a power play at its disposal, but fails to exploit it. It goes to the second intermission on the score of 4-1.

In the third drittel Italy tries to increase the intensity, but it is still Sweden that strikes. At 46:53 Johansson brings the score to 5-1, taking advantage of a mistake by the Italian defense and an assist from Lina Ljungblom. At that point Italy changes in goal: Fedel gives way to Gabriella Durante. At 54:32 the sixth Swedish goal also arrived, again with Johansson, served by Olsson and Svensson. For Italy, the next engagement is set for Monday, February 9, at 12:10 p.m. against Japan.
