Goals galore between Czechia and Switzerland

The Czech Republic got off to a fast start against Switzerland and the first goal after less than a minute, and then went up 2-0 on a nice play by Rod and Mikula. However, they kept the two-goal lead for only a minute, as a goal by Cioffo cut Switzerland's deficit to one. After conceding the goal, the Czechs shifted back into high gear and Pavlík added another goal. In the second period, the Czechs managed to add two more goals by Šlecht and Kachlík. Subsequently, the Swiss scored on a power play of their own to make the score to 5-2. However, the Czechs scored three more goals by the end of the second period and the outcome was thus decided. In the final period, both teams scored plenty of goals, making the final score 12-5 for the Czech Republic.

COACHES´ REACTIONS

Vit Capek (CZE): "After two defeats, we needed this victory. We wanted to win, we knew we were up against a tough opponent, and the Swiss fulfilled that, they played very sacrificially. In my opinion, we conceded five unnecessary goals, we need to work on our penalty killing. The victory is valuable for us and moves us further in the tournament."

Van Orsouw Nicolas (SWI): "We have a good game tonight, our boys were focused, played hard. I am so proud of them, they played good game against Canada, and now they scored 5 goals against Czechs. But congratulations to Czech Republic, they were really good."
