Norway shocked Sweden in the World Cup premiere

In the latest World Cup (2023), Sweden’s bandy lords also started with a match against Norway. At that time it was 16-2 to Sweden.

When this year’s World Cup started in Lidköping Arena on Monday evening, there was a new blue -yellow premiere win, ready 9–3 in the end. But only after a match introduction that even surprised the Norwegians.

– I never think it has happened before. If we have even scored two goals at some point, Norway’s Felix Callander asked in Expressen’s television broadcast after the first half.

Marius Mørch Andersen Put 1-0 to Norway on the first corner of the match in the 15th minute. Shortly thereafter, Edsbyn’s 18-year-old talent Tyler Mymo poured in 2-0.

– We start a little tame. We lose ball in more places and there will be transitions, said Swedish World Cup debutant Vladimir In-Fa-Lin after the first half.

By that time, Sweden had still turned on the steak through two goals by Christoffer Edlund and one by Christoffer Fagerström.

After the break there was no talk. With three quick goals, Sweden punctured the match and was able to conveniently collect an expected premiere victory.

It’s just the second time In the last five years as a bandy World Cup is arranged. By 2020 and 2021, the championship was canceled due to the Coronapandemia and the following year put Russia’s invasion war in Ukraine stops. Last year there was no World Cup because you did not find any organizer.

Sweden’s gentlemen continue the World Cup with a match against Hungary on Tuesday. Then the ladies also enter the championship, with a premiere match against Norway.
