Tre Kronor had revenge to claim after the humiliating 9-3 loss against the Czech Republic last week when the Beijer Hockey Games began on Thursday.

With that, it went like that.

Sweden certainly made a much better effort this evening, but there were no points as they had despaired of creating difficult really hot goal chances against a compact Czech Republic.

At least during the first two periods.

In the third, Tre Kronor played up but Marek Langhamer in the Czech Republic's goal made a brilliant effort.

Thanks to his great play, the Czech Republic was finally able to win the match 2-1.

1-0 came after 13.22 in the second period since Matej Stransky won the puck behind Sweden's goal and then found Brynäs' new acquisition David Sklenicka in a good position.

The direct shot was hard and well placed and you can load Magnus Hellberg in Sweden's goal for.

Detroit Red Wings star Jakub Vrana made it 2-0 in powerplay with just over a minute and a half left to play.

With 19 seconds left of the third period, Linus Karlsson reduced in game six to five, but Tre Kronor never came closer than that.

- It's never fun to lose, but I think we make a good match anyway.

We have enough good goal chances to win this match, what is missing is the last thing to do to score the goals, says Tre Kronor's national team captain Johan Garpenlöv.
