When the Czechs made one more and the Latvians missed a penalty shot, the final result was 8-6 to Czech Republic.

In Switzerland´s last match versus Poland the ball stayed mainly on the Polish side of the field, but team Poland defended well in the beginning and had some fast counter attacks.

13-1 to Switzerland
