Coach Colin Müller's team only managed to score the final goal by young ZSC forward Alina Marti 32 seconds before the end - too late to turn the game around.

This was the eighth time in a row that Switzerland had lost to the Czech Republic - the third time with a one-goal difference or after a penalty shoot-out. Strikingly, they have scored just six goals in these eight games since November a year ago.

In the remaining games of this third stage of the Euro Hockey Tour, the Swiss will face hosts Finland on Thursday and Sweden on Friday.
