Great Britain suffered a 5-0 defeat to Hungary in their third match of the 2026 Ice Hockey World Championship in Switzerland. The Hungarians dominated from the start with Krisztian Nagy and Doman Szongoth finding the net early. Istvan Terbocs extended the lead with a short-handed breakaway, prompting Britain to replace goalkeeper Ben Bowns with Mat Robson.

Despite efforts from Liam Kirk, Josh Waller, and Cade Neilson, Great Britain couldn't breach Hungary's defensive wall. Bence Balizs stood tall in net for Hungary, making several key saves. Terbocs added his second goal on a two-on-one break before Nagy completed the scoring with a fifth goal, leaving Britain searching for answers.

Pete Russell's GB team remains winless in the tournament, continuing their disappointing campaign. The comprehensive defeat raises serious questions about the team's performance ahead of their crucial match against hosts Switzerland. Britain now faces an uphill battle to salvage their tournament hopes with their next game just days away.
