It was visiting Nässjö that started strongest. After the first period, small landers led by ten points and gained a solid lead.
In others, Umeå could snap in but never quite. It would take until the final period before the home team got in the race and managed to take the lead. Then continued a rolling period that was never fully settled until Nässjö in the last second of the match missed a decisive shot.
Instead, Umeå won the match with 84–83 and has now combed home four points in six matches, and is still second in the series.
