In a closely contested match at the Milan Olympics, the Czech Republic faced Switzerland and lost 3:4 in overtime. The decisive goal was scored by Swiss defenseman Dean Kukan in the 62nd minute, leaving the Czech team with a total of four points and placing them third in the group. Looking ahead, the Czechs will meet one of Germany, Latvia, or Denmark in the upcoming playoff round, with their next opponent determined by the results of today's matches.

During the game, the Swiss team was initially more aggressive, testing Czech goalie Dostál early in the first period. Despite having an early power play opportunity, the Czech team struggled to capitalize but managed to tie the game later on. Czech captain Chlapík opened the scoring with a well-executed breakaway goal after a swift two-on-one counterattack, marking his second consecutive goal against the Swiss.

The match was filled with tension as both teams exchanged scoring opportunities, but the defensive plays and goaltending kept the scores close. As the game progressed, the Czechs made notable efforts to equalize whenever they fell behind. With the loss, the Czechs will need to regroup and prepare strategically as they enter the knockout phase against a tough opponent in the playoff rounds.
