Sweden Cruises Past Iceland in Straight Sets

Sweden is yet to lose a single set in this year`s European Silver League.

In a dominant display of skill, Sweden secured a comfortable 3-0 victory against Iceland (25-7, 25-11, 25-17) in Kópavogur on June 15. Competing in the CEV Men’s European Silver League, the Swedish team took immediate control of the match. Their sharp serving, effective attacks, and solid blocking proved too much for Iceland, who struggled to find their rhythm throughout the encounter.

Jacob Link was a key offensive force for Sweden, contributing 14 points with powerful and consistent hits. He was well-supported by Patrik Johansson and Axel Enlund, who each added eight points. Sweden`s ability to transition quickly and maintain an aggressive playing style kept Iceland`s defense under constant pressure, severely limiting their scoring chances. Although Valens Torfi Ingimundarson managed 10 points and Hafsteinn Valdimarsson scored four for the home side, Iceland couldn`t match Sweden`s pace. They faced particular difficulties with reception and hitting efficiency. Sweden`s clear superiority across all facets of the game resulted in a decisive win, earning them valuable points. The victory keeps Sweden at the top of the competition standings with a perfect record of four wins from four matches, accumulating the maximum 12 points.
