Switzerland Outclasses Germany 13-1, Känzig Scores Four Goals – 02.12.2018
This was the second match of the tournament for both teams. While Switzerland defeated Latvia 7-3 on the opening day, Germany lost 5-10 against the Czech Republic. As expected, this game was in charge of the Swiss players. The key figure of the match was the 21-year-old Deny Känzig, who posted six points (4+2), which were also his first points at the Men’s World Championship in his career.
In the history of the WFC, these two countries faced each other four times, with Switzerland winning all of the matches. And today’s game was not an exception. Switzerland set the pace of the game from the beginning, controlling the ball most of the time. The opening goal was scored in the 7th minute of the first period by Paolo Reidi. It was his first career point at the WFC as well. Also Nils Conrad (0+1) and Dan Hartmann (2+2) recorded their career-first points at the Men’s World Championships.
The match was a really one-sided affair. German players were only defending and you could count their offensive chances on the fingers of one hand. At 17:51 Känzig, the man of the match, scored a spectacular goal. With his stick in one hand he hit the ball from the air straight into the net. As the game went on the Swiss players kept adding more goals. At the end of the second period Germany changed goalies, as Nils Hallerstede went into the crease to replace Mike Dietz, who conceded seven goals.
The Swiss goalkeeper Patrick Eder, playing his first career match at the Men’s World Championship, was on the verge of keeping a clean sheet. But in the 57th minute, Erik Schuschwary scored a power-play goal for Germany and spoilt Eder’s shout-out plans. Actually, the Swiss team should pay more attention to Schuschwary next time they face Germany as he also managed to score twice in their last head-to-head encounter at the WFC 2016, where Switzerland won 11-3.
