After the end of regulation time with a 0-0 tie, Tage Thompson scored in the 2:02 minute of overtime the golden goal that gave the United States the 1-0 victory over Switzerland and the gold medal in the World Championship in Sweden and Denmark, the first for the country since 1933.
The United States won the title that year and has since had to wait to sign the second. In 1960, a year without a World Cup, it won the Olympic title as host in the Squaw Valley Games.

The Swiss have been in the gold medal game four times since 2013, and have lost all four finals: two against Sweden (2013 and 2018), last year against the Czech Republic, and this Sunday against the United States.
Sweden took the bronze after defeating the other host, Denmark, in the consolation final by 6-2.
