Swiss feat at the U20 World Championship in Moncton, Canada! The Swiss selection won 3-2 after extra time against Finland, one of the favorites of the tournament.
The Swiss won a second point after 41 seconds of extra time thanks to Ticino captain Attilio Biasca, well served by the leader of the Swiss selection, defender Lian Bichsel. Previously, the players of coach Claudio Bayer had equalized at 1-1 by Luganese Lorenzo Canonica (33rd). Then Jeremy Jabola (CP Bern) had given the advantage to the Swiss colors in the 45th. The Finns managed to equalize through Kalle Vaisanen in the 49th.
This surprising but deserved success will have to be confirmed on Tuesday evening against Latvia, the weakest opponent in the group. A win against the Baltics would virtually ensure a ticket to the quarter-finals.
