The win-loss record after the fourth game in the World Cup preparation is 2:2. On Thursday evening, the ÖEHV selection had to admit defeat 1:5 to the seven-time world champions Czech Republic in front of 4,000 fans in Vienna’s Steffl Arena.
Friday, 5:00 p.m. Jihlava (CZE), the second test against our neighbors follows. The duel was a special evening despite the defeat of Leon Kolarik, who scored the 1:3 (32nd minute) on his national team debut. After the double against the Czech Republic, they will face Germany twice in one week, and the last test match before the 2026 World Cup against Slovenia will take place in Klagenfurt on May 9th.
Head coach Roger Bader: “The result roughly corresponds to the performance of the two teams. Maybe there was one goal too many, which was scored somewhat strangely. The Czech Republic is brutally strong. They are very fast, have strong skills. That was to be expected. Their players all play in top European leagues. Their quick transition game was very impressive. We got into the duels better as the game progressed. Games against teams like that make us better, even if we lose them.”
Leon Kolarik: “It was a very good feeling to score the first goal in the first game at home. We overslept a bit in the first 20 minutes, then we immediately found ourselves trailing 0-2 against the Czech Republic with their class. We said in the dressing room that we had to play more simply and get the ball deep. We managed that quite well.”
