Switzerland’s dominant display
Switzerland delivered a commanding 6‑0 victory over Norway in the semi‑final of the IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship, securing a place in the championship final and showcasing a relentless offensive onslaught.
The opening goal arrived at 17:36 of the first period when Christoph Bertschy opened the scoring, setting the tone for a dominant performance.
Denis Malgin, Ken Jager and Damien Riat each added a goal in the second period, extending the lead before Nico Hischier struck on a power play in the third to make it 5‑0.
Theo Rochette capped the scoring with the sixth goal with just over two minutes remaining, sealing a perfect offensive outing.
Norway’s historic milestone
For Norway, the result marks their best performance since a fourth‑place finish in 1951, and they will now contest the bronze‑medal game against either Canada or Finland.
Switzerland, meanwhile, will appear in their sixth final and third consecutive, a milestone that underscores their consistent presence on the world stage, though a title has eluded them to date.
