Switzerland delivered a significant upset in the women's Olympic ice hockey tournament, defeating Finland 1-0 to advance to the semi-finals. Alina Muller scored the game's sole goal, which was enough to overcome the Finnish team and earn a chance to play against the formidable Canadian squad.
Finland's offensive pressure was substantial, launching 40 shots towards the Swiss net. However, Swiss goalie Andrea Braendli delivered a stellar performance, blocking every attempt. Despite a prior 3-1 victory against Switzerland in the group stage, Finland could not replicate their scoring success in this crucial playoff match.
The victory for Switzerland not only propels them into the final four but also ends Finland's medal aspirations for this Olympic cycle. Finland had secured bronze medals in the two previous Olympic Games. The United States will face Sweden in the other semi-final.
