The first game of the Women´s Junior World Cup in Prerov between the Czech republic and Great Britain started very slowly and carefully. However, the Czechs got better and better and scored two goals at the end of the first period. Although it was a very hard game for the Brits, they created some chances, but not very dangerous ones.
The Czechs were at their best in the second period and scored three goals. The Britons didn´t get many shots and stayed in their defensive zone a lot.
In last period, the Czechs tried to calm the game down and carefully finish it. There were chances for the Brits to score, but they didn´t achieve their goal. The best player from Team GB was goalkeeper Emma Nichols made many nice saves despite seven goals against.
Reactions
Czech Republic Coach: It was very hard for us at the beginning of the match. The Britons played deep in their defensive zone and it was very exhausting to score a goal through their strong defence. But during the game we got better and better and we deserved these important three points.
Great Britain Coach: We started very well indeed. We had no expectations in the match against the Czech Republic. It was hard for us and the Czechs confirmed their top-seed position in this match.
