The class difference between Sweden and the Czech Republic, which did not qualify for the EC, was clear from the start.
Sweden took the lead through Linn Blohm and was able to increase to 3-0 in the first five minutes of the match after two free-position goals from Nathalie Hagman.
The advantage continued and after 20 minutes Sweden led 12-2.
In the last ten minutes, the visitors managed to keep up with Sweden's pace, so at the half-time break the score was 17-6.
- The Czech Republic has not put up very strong opposition today.
They get nowhere, because Sweden has a very good defensive game.
But they look pretty weak, so for entertainment's sake, let's hope it's a bit more even in the second half.
But it is also a message of strength from Sweden, said SVT Sport's expert Mikaela Mässing at halftime.
But it didn't get much smoother.
Sweden was able to keep the Czech Republic at a distance of ten goals during the beginning of the second half and increase the longer the match went on.
Sweden eventually won 36-20 after 16 Swedish players scored.
