A more dramatic ending to a handball match is to be sought. Last year's bottom team Boden had acknowledged to 25-25 through Johanna Hellgren with nine seconds left to play and looked to take a peel point from the premiere.

The clock ticked quickly for the home team that went to the final bout of the match. Just before the end signal, Önnered got free. The floor players lined up in a wall to cover shots.

But when tonight's giant Maja Eriksson aimed and fired his shot, it didn't matter. The ball made its way into the left intersection and Önnered took home both points in an entertaining match.

The stall had previously been a strong turning point. The team from Norrbotten picked up 22-25 to 25-25 in four minutes.
