Switzerland 0 Czech Republic 1
The hosts open up the tournament at 17:00 CET but the host opened up the campaign with a defeat.
The game was a tight affair with neither side wanting to concede the first goal of the tournament. The deadlock was broken in the 70th minute with a goal from Vaclav Sverkos. He was played a through ball which he cooly slotted past the Switzerland keeper.
The campaign looks bleak from the word go for Switzerland. Just before the break their captain Alexander Frei picked up and injury that may put him out for the remaineder of the tournament.
Final score Switzerland 0 Czech Republic 1.
