Slovakia was not completely without a chance, even though the numbers gossip about it.
In fact, they started the match well and put the Swedish goalkeeper Magnus Hellberg to the test on more than one occasion in the first period, but the longer the match lasted, the more Sweden took over.
1-0 came after 11.22 in the first period.
Goal scorer: Joakim Nordström, nicely played by Lukas Bengtsson.
Lucas Walllmark made it 2-0 after 18.10 in game five against three, his third goal in the tournament.
And before the first period was over, Tre Kronor had more or less punctured the match with Max Friberg's 3-0 goal.
The zero burst at the end
Although Slovakia tried to make a match of it all, Sweden was too stable on the defensive while Magnus Hellberg in the goal continued to stop the pucks he got against him.
It would take until 18.18 of the last period before Hellbergs zero broke, but then Sweden had already made 4-0 in open box through Carl Klingberg so dramatically you can not say that it happened.
The victory means that Sweden will now play the group final against Finland on Sunday, the winner is guaranteed a place in the quarter finals.
