Kevin Haglund gave Sweden the lead after just under two minutes and although Norway responded quickly - 1-1 just 16 seconds later - it felt like victory was never in danger.
The score was 6-1 after the first period and Norway could not keep up with the Swedish pace.
- Great fun to see Sweden.
What creativity and what pace of passing.
There is enormous quality and Norway do not know where to stand on the pitch.
It is propaganda, said the expert Mattias Samuelsson after a period.
In the second period, Sweden diluted the numbers to a full 12-1.
"Too easy"
When Hampus Ahrén put 11-1, the commentators saw the Norwegian effort.
- Norway, hello!?
Have they given up the defensive game or what is happening, Chris Härenstam wondered.
Samuelsson filled in:
- It's too bad defensive play by Norway.
Right now, everything has been lost.
It's still an international match, a World Cup.
It's about working all the way through because this is too damn easy.
WC semi-final on Saturday
And it didn't get any more even in the third and final period.
The match finally ended 18-2.
For Sweden, the WC semi-final awaits on Saturday and the winner between Finland and Germany, who will play tomorrow at 18.00.
