||
It was the first match for the Czech Republic under their new head coach Rastislav Trtik and the first encounter after they had to withdraw from January’s World Championship in Egypt. Russia took a close but deserved victory as the Czechs stormed back into contention late on, before Igor Soroka sealed the deal. GROUP 3
Trtik at the wheel Rastislav Trtik’s second spell in charge of Czech Republic begins with a defeat. Trtik came in as an interim successor of Jan Filip and Daniel Kubes, who lost their jobs after missing out on the World Championship in Egypt due to the team being decimated with COVID-19 issues. The Slovak coach, who had spells with Tatran Presov in his home country, Banik Karvina and Frydek in the Czech Republic and MT Melsungen among others, will take some signs of hope from the game before the two sides meet again on Sunday.
