After two initial losses against Canada and the United States, they won against Finland.
A dramatic turnaround gave Sweden a morale-raising 4-3 victory.
- It is incredibly important to know that we can beat these teams, says Mira Markström before the quarterfinals.
So now the Czech Republic is waiting.
A difficult opponent who won all his matches in the group stage.
If there is to be a victory, the key is to get a good start.
- Against Canada and the USA, the start was not the best.
We lost the match right from the start.
We solved it against Finland and we led the match 2-1, it is always nice to get a good start, says Mira Markström.
- To set a high level immediately and minimize our mistakes (will be important).
But also to hit many shots on goal.
But Markström is still victorious.
- It is an incredibly good team.
It will be a tough match but I can still say that we will win.
The quarter final against the Czech Republic will be played tonight at 03.00.
The match is broadcast on SVT2 and on Play.
