André Diätisch, team manager on the game: "We started the game very concentrated and well. We were able to keep up with the Czechs' pace in the first third and also controlled the game for long stretches and were rewarded with a 1-0 lead.
Despite good efforts and the necessary commitment, we were unable to maintain the pace as the game progressed and so the Czech team went into the second break with a deserved 3:1 lead and in the end the scoreboard showed a comfortable 5:1 victory for the Czech team."
