Latvia lost to Switzerland at 0:13 (0: 4, 0: 3, 0: 6) and suffered a second failure in the tournament.
The result was revealed in the third minute by Korīna Rītimane, putting Switzerland in the lead with 1: 0. At the end of the ninth minute, Mišela Viki achieved a 2-0 turn from the front of the goal, sending the ball to the bottom left corner after Rītimanes.
Six minutes later, the result was 3: 0, when the Swiss press in the Latvian national team forced the Latvians to make a mistake, and after Jūlija Zutere’s excellent pass, Kjara Grēdiga was left with only a stick to let the ball fly into the empty corner of the goal. In the 19th minute, Natalija Špihigere caught up with 4: 0, who played Zani Darša on the way to the goal and irresistibly threw the goal into the far corner.
The Swiss scored the first goal in the second period in the eighth minute, when Spihiger scored the second goal from the front of the goal, sending the ball to the upper right corner of the goal – 5: 0.
In the 11th minute, Elīna Jeigi beat Lea Hanimane from the goalkeeper’s field, but five minutes later the first to bounce the ball was Jūlija Zutere – 7: 0. In the second minute of the third period, after Isabelle Gergiga’s throw, the ball flew high into the air and reached the goal of the Latvian national team, as well as Anja Vissa performed a completely free accurate broadcast – already 9: 0.
The Swiss continued to break the defense of the Latvian national team and in the next minute Korina Rutiman’s counterattack reached 10: 0. Flurīna Marti scored the next goal for the opponents in the middle of the period with a lightning strike, three minutes later also the majority – 12: 0.
Four minutes before the end of the regular time, Marti scored a goal under the guise of several floorball players, thus making himself a “hat-trick” in one period.
It has already been reported that on Sunday the Latvian floorball players conceded to the Polish national team with the result 4: 6, but Switzerland played the first match on Saturday, when they acknowledged the Czech superiority with 2: 5.
On Tuesday, Latvia will duel with the Czech Republic in Group A, which will compete with Poland on Monday evening.
In a group, teams will play with each other. The owners of the first two places in groups A and B will immediately enter the quarterfinals, but the owners of the third and fourth places will have to meet the two strongest teams of each group in the second echelon.
The head coach of the Latvian national team Jānis Inģists has included two goalkeepers, four defensive players and 14 attackers in the national team.
The largest representation of players is from the Kocēni “Rubene” club – nine floorball players. Two players from Kekava “Bulldogs” / NND and Cēsis “Lekrings”, but one each from “Līgatne” and “Ķekava” teams. Five more floorball players play in foreign clubs in Switzerland and Finland every day.
The Latvian women’s national team currently ranks seventh in the world, but in the previous world championship, which took place two years ago in the Swiss city of Neuchâtel, the team won eighth place.
Latvians have participated in all 12 world championships held so far, each time entering the top eight. In the 2007 World Championship, the Latvian national team won the high fourth place.
Jānis Inģistas is assisted by coach Linda Līce, as well as fitness coach Kaspars Reikmanis.
