After the match, victory songs echoed from the dressing room. Sandviken was difficult to assess after the turbulence with the crisis economy which when the club went bankrupt this spring. Saik has turned the ship and the elite license for the season is secured.
The sporting bit is solid and a defensive tight Saik had no problems winning in Vänersborg.
- It was an important victory, we lost here last season and it is one of the most difficult away matches, says Erik Säfström to bandypul's webcast.
"It felt stable"- They created some half chances from the sides but it feels stable and we have several hot chances and maybe would have scored a few more goals, Säfström thinks.
Vänersborg never managed to threaten or make the match exciting. In extra time, Saik got a penalty that Jesper Hvornum certainly put up 5-2.
Vänersborg has been mentioned with respect in the talk but made a smooth figure.
- I am terribly disappointed that we are so bad at the premiere. We're throwing this away. We are for bad, bad speed both offensively and offensively. I don't know why it looked like that, says Vänersborg's Johan Kock in Bandypul's webcast.
