Swiss netminder Andrea Brändli was the star in Switzerland's 1-0 shutout upset over Finland in the quarterfinals to advance to face Canada in the Olympic women's hockey semifinals.
Switzerland got the performance they needed from Andrea Brändli who shut the door, and shutout Finland to lift her nation to the medal round of the 2026 Olympic women's hockey tournament.
Brändli made 40 saves in what turned out to be the lowest scoring game of the tournament.
After a scoreless first period that saw Brändli turn aside 14 shots, Alina Muller broke the deadlock in the second frame with Rahel Enzler and Lara Stalder picking up helpers.
Brändli shut the door from there on out finishing the game with 40 saves. Switzerland only managed 14 shots on Sanni Ahola in their 1-0 win.
