It was a victory for Sweden's team Niklas Edin in the last group round match in the curling WC in American Las Vegas.

Thus, Sweden avoids playing the quarterfinals and goes directly to the semifinals.

Norway stood for the opposition, and offered the Swedes real resistance, especially when Magnus Ramsfjell and the other Norwegians took three points in the ninth and penultimate round.

It meant a 6-5 lead, but with the advantage of the hammer, Sweden managed to secure two points in the last, which meant a blue-yellow victory with 7-6.

Team Edin has thus won nine of its twelve regular season matches.

The top two teams after the regular season - Canada and Sweden - go straight to the semifinals.

Team 3-team 6 meet for two semi-final places.
