The first set starts surprisingly for the Swedes. The Czech men's duo presents itself strong, secures the first points and takes the lead. But then Åhman/Hellvig find their way into the game more easily. They equalize and the lead changes. From this point on, the 2022 European champions put on a spectacular display in the packed Red Bull Beach Arena, scoring one point after another. The Czech team fights hard, but ultimately in vain. Åhman/Hellvig secure the first set with 21:16.
The second set goes similarly. The Swedish duo is clearly the stronger team. Schweiner/Trousil show fighting spirit and are able to close the gap to the European champions. But their will to win is not enough. They lose the set against Åhman/Hellvig with 15:21 and last year's European champions move into the quarterfinals.
