At halftime, the score was 17-12 for the Champions League team Kristianstad, but then the turn began. It was never quite so until the 50th minute when Anton Hallbäck put up 24-24.

With only 40 seconds left, decisive came when Mirko Vicentijevic led 27-26 before Hallbäck determined the result.

- We fight and dare to shoot these half-bad shots that still go in. We do not stop fighting. We just fight all the way, says Önnered goalkeeper Sebastian Abrahamsson.

The best scorer in the match was Önnered's Hugo Bengtsson with nine hits.

The loss is Kristianstad's second in the handball league this season and in the Champions League you have lost all three you have played. Overall, things have been tough since Vranjes this spring - after four straight SM golds went out to Alingsås in the semi-finals and now you have two losses in seven matches played.

- I'm really disappointed right now. We may have other ambitions than where Önnered has in this series and then we will win this match, says Kristianstad's Adam Nyfjäll to C More.

Kristianstad is second in the handball league while Önnered goes up to ninth place.
