Women’s World Cup – The Swiss women’s national team suffered their first loss in the second match of the World Cup in Herning, Denmark. Coach Colin Muller’s team lost 4-1 to Canada.
In the aftermath of the 3-1 victory over Japan, the Canadians were, as expected, too strong. But the Swiss have long withstood the overwhelming opponent, at least in terms of results.
At halftime, Switzerland were only 0:1 behind in favor of the Canadians, despite a glaring shot difference, which ended up being 46:8. Then, in less than 92 seconds, the world champion and the Olympic champion cleared the scoreboard with a double blow. Seven and a half minutes before the end, Alina Marti reduced the deficit to 1:3. The Canadians answered the goal with a good minute before the end with the fourth goal.
The Swiss are also clear underdogs in their next game. Monday evening, they meet the United States. Regardless of the results of the last two games of the preliminary round, Switzerland need not worry about their participation in the quarter-finals. Group A teams with the strongest nations all qualify for the first knockout round.
