In the first set of matches, Switzerland beat Kuwait 9–3 and South Korea defeated Sweden 7–3 (with 3 double-losses). The second set saw Sweden beat Switzerland 8–4 (2 double-losses) and South Korea prevail against Kuwait 9–1. In the final set, Switzerland defeated South Korea 9–5; this margin put both teams at 2–1 but South Korea led in bouts (21–16 vs. 18–18) and thus secured advancement; Kuwait was also eliminated at 0–2 before its match with Sweden. The match between Sweden and Kuwait would determine whether Sweden or Switzerland advanced; Sweden had already lost 16 bouts going into the match, so (to stay ahead of Switzerland on the first tie-breaker, bouts lost) could lose no more than 2 bouts against Kuwait to advance. Sweden won 9–2, matching Switzerland on bouts lost (18 to 18) but advancing on the second tie-breaker, bouts won (20 to 18).
