Switzerland’s Yannick Schwaller led his team to a comeback win against hosts Sweden today to move top of Group A in the men's competition at the World Curling Federation Curling World Cup in Jönköping.

Having initially gone behind in the match at the Jönköping Curling Club, team Switzerland managed a last end steal to take it to a shoot-out.

Schwaller then drew to within 29 centimetres of the pin to win the contest 7-6, as Niklas Edin for Sweden threw short of the button.

It sees the Swiss move onto five points with two wins from two, ahead of Sweden and the United States on four points and three points respectively.

In all four men’s matches went ahead today, with Scotland, the US and Canada also registering wins.

Led by Steffen Walstad, Scotland beat Norway 5-4 in Group B, in a shoot-out of their own.
