Switzerland conceded the groundbreaking first goal after just under 14 minutes while outnumbered. Coach Colin Muller's team were unable to find an answer, even though they were able to play five consecutive minutes on the powerplay towards the end of the opening period and at the start of the middle period after Czech goal-scorer Kristyna Kaltounkova was ruled out. The Czechs increased the lead to 2:0 in the final period through Tereza Pistekova (53').
The score remains the same for the second classification game for fifth place. In order to at least force overtime, the Swiss must win by two goals after 60 minutes on Sunday (from 10.30 a.m.). It would be the second Swiss victory in the tenth match since the premiere of the women's Euro Hockey Tour in August.
