Skóre duelu v 7. minúte otvoril Linus Karlsson a ktovie ako by sa duel vyvíjal, keby rozhodcovia uznali gól Oskara Sundqvista pri päťminútovom vylúčení Deana Kukana. Rozhodcovia po vzhliadnutí videa usúdili, že švédsky útočník puk úmyselne kopol do bránky a preto gól neplatil.

Do prvej prestávky potom na 1:1 vyrovnal Roman Josi, ktorý potom v 33. minúte prihrával na gól Denisa Malgina a druhou asistenciou sa podieľal aj na treťom presnom zápasu svojho tímu – ten v presilovke strelil Calvin Thürkauf. Švédi to v závere zápasu skúsili aj hrou bez brankára, ale skóre sa už nezmenilo.
