It was a swinging match at Hovet between Djurgården and Färjestad. After a poor first period where Färjestad brought a 1-0 lead, it became a ketchup effect in the second and third.

And it went away. First, Djurgården scored three straight goals, and looked to have full control of the match when Henrik Eriksson put 3-1 with two minutes left of the period. But that wasn't really the case. Because when Färjestad got the chance in games five against three, the team managed to score two goals in the course of twelve seconds, and the match was acknowledged for the third period.

Djurgården also did two quick ones

In the third, it was time for Djurgården to show that they can also score two quick goals. At 31 seconds, the team managed to move away to a 5-3 lead after goals by Patrik Berglund and Tom Wandell.

But once again, Färjestad would come back from a two-goal sub. First, Linus Arnesson stood for a fine solo performance when he set his second goal of the match with seven minutes left to play, and just under two minutes later it was Marcus Nilsson's turn when he acknowledged 5-5.

Long sentence

The match then went to an extension, which became speechless. Instead, there were penalties that would determine the classic meeting. There it was a long series of missed penalties before Lucas Ekeståhl-Jonsson secured the 6-5 victory for Färjestad.

- I don't usually put penalties. Fun that it went in, it wasn't such a good punishment though, says Ekeståhl-Jonsson to C More.

The fact that it took a long time before it became a decisive factor is not only because of good goalkeeper play, the penalty hero means.

- It was pretty bad ice, so it couldn't dribble so easily, he says.

Ferjestad came back from two-goal sub-twice twice during the match. And the offensive is something that Ekeståhl-Jonsson is happy with, but the defense game has some shortcomings.

- It shows our strength that we can turn this around. We are extremely strong going forward, but we have to block backwards, he says.
