The second defeat in a row. Czech hockey players succumbed to Slovakia, after almost five years
Štěpán Lukeš got the opportunity in the goal of the Czech team after a two-match workload of Petr Kváč. Defender Richard Nedomlel made the debut, replacing Libor Zábranský Jr. in the line-up compared to Thursday’s duel. Adam Klapka replaced Petr Fridrich in the attack.
Dominik Riečický from Košice had their premieres in the Slovak goal, and the newly called forwards Mário Lunter from Mladá Boleslav and Oliver Okuliar from the SaiPa Lappeenranta team joined the team. On the other hand, Matúš Sukeľ from Litvínov dropped out of the World Championship game after an earlier premature end of preparations for the club’s last goalkeeper Denis Gold and the bulls Christián Jaroš and Michal Tchaikovsky.
The home team started actively and Lukeš had to hide Liška’s chance after only 15 seconds, then Čerešňák headed for the side bar. In the 3th minute, after Lišek’s shot from the left circle, the opposite team helped the Czech team. Jalonen’s choice could have been answered during Koch’s four-minute suspension, when the Black Man hit a closer stick from the left circle.

The Czechs responded in 45 seconds, when Zdráhal got ahead of Riečický and also succeeded with a backhand end. Before half of the match, they had the opportunity to equalize Beránek and then with a shot from Klapka’s turn.

Before Riečický, he went to Blümel, but then the Slovak one insisted. The Czechs experienced a settlement eight seconds before the second break, when Captain Ščotka’s shot from the blue line was flowing by Černoch.
After 121 seconds of the third period, the home players returned to the lead. Koch’s throw from the blue line fell to Lukeš’s goal post. With Nedomlel’s exclusion, the guests defended themselves and in the 48th minute Faško-Rudáš did not push the puck for Lukeš in another chance. Eight minutes before the end of the third, he had the opportunity to equalize Ciencialo, who did not beat Riečický, and moreover a moment later he limped into the locker room with an injury.
