The first period was a critical point for Sweden ahead of the JVM semi-final against the Czech Republic.

The early behind goals from the last few games could not be repeated and it was something that was talked about a lot.

Said and done.

The junior crowns started strongly, created several chances and went into the period break tied.

Two minutes into the second period, perhaps Sweden's best defender in the tournament Ludvig Jansson stepped forward and bombed in 1-0.

The Södertälje player's fourth goal and eighth point in the tournament.

Framework meeting for the Czech Republic

Just seconds into the third period, team captain Victor Stjernborg was cleared in front of the goal for a great situation.

But the center did not have time to react with his club to the free play.

Six minutes played, the Czech Republic created its best chance so far in the match.

A shot saved Carl Lindbom in the Swedish goal.

Despite the chance, it was a strong Swedish defense that, together with Lindbom, seemed to close the match.

But with 38 seconds left, Lindbom could not resist.

In a six-on-five game, David Jiříček equalized with a hard direct shot.

In the overtime three-on-three game, Sweden was the team that created the most chances, among other things Noah Östlund had a puck on the goal line.

However, it was the Czech Republic that decided with less than a minute left.

In the final, the Czech Republic awaits the winner of tonight's match between Canada and the USA.
