- We played much better than in Luleå and came out with higher speed and created more chances, says Färjestad's Daniel Viksten, whose goal in the penalty shootout decided the event, to C More.
He also started the scoring by making it 1-0 already after 63 seconds of play.
He has now scored three goals in two games.
Växjö was the better team in the sudden, and later part of the match, with several good chances.
Robert Rosén scored the goal in an open goal after a fine pass by two-goal shooter Richard Gynge.
Växjö should have decided the match there.
"We bring good things with us"
- Nice that the premiere has been completed.
We take very good things with us even if it is hard to lose, says Växjö's coach Sam Hallam.
When it was time for penalties, Färjestad's goalkeeper Henrik Haukeland nailed the box again and took his three challenges. Viksten was safe and found the vacant right cross behind Erik Källgren in Växjökassen.
