Russia (bbabo.net), - The Russian women's ice hockey team failed to reach the semi-finals of the Olympic tournament, losing to the Swiss team - 2:4.

These teams met in the first match of the group stage, and then the Russian team won more than confidently - 5:2. But since then, the team of Yevgeny Bobariko has constantly had problems associated with positive tests for coronavirus, which added to the problems during the tournament.

Because of this, it was extremely difficult to name the favorite in the quarterfinal meeting. The first period was held in a stubborn struggle and without goals. Only at the end of the second period did Phoebe Shtents upset the Russian team, but Anna Savonina restored the scoreline shortly before the break.

At the 47th minute, the Russians scored the second puck, but after the video review, Anna Shokhina's goal was canceled, since the puck had left the site before that. And then the Swiss took the lead - Dominique Ruegg put an end to the exit two in one.

Polina Luchnikova equalized again in the 54th minute, but another defensive mistake led to a goal by Alina Muller. She, shortly before the final siren, struck an empty net - 4:2.
