The Czech Republic had some scares on Thursday during its match once morest Slovenia (6-2), in group B of the world championship, that of Switzerland, which plays in Riga, Latvia.
Led 0-2 following 12 minutes of play following successes from Miha Verlic (8th) and Jan Urbas (12th), the men trained by former Bern coach Kari Jalonen had to wait until the last third to pass the shoulder.
The first reaction came from Dominik Kubalik’s butt in the 39th minute. Then the period of hell began for the Slovenians. The former Ambri player first equalized for his colors in the 44th minute, before Rapperswil striker Roman Cervenka gave the Czechs the advantage (45th). In the 52nd, Michal Kempny scored the 4-2, Kubalik, to end his day in style, scored a hat-trick in the 58th in the empty net, and Jakub Flek sealed the score in the 59th.
With this victory, the Czechs are almost sure to participate in the quarter-finals, the Slovenes, they remain bottom of the group with zero points.
Quiet Swedes
In Group A, no scares for the Swedes who crushed Hungary 7-1. Only Roland Kiss (8th) made the “yellow and blue” doubt for a moment by bringing his team to 1-2. A doubt that did not last since it was 3-1 at the end of the first third and 6-1 following the second.
Second in their group, the Swedes will be, except cataclysm, in quarters, but not the Hungarians who remain sixth before the duel between Denmark and Germany, in the evening.
