There were warm feelings in the summit between Edsbyn and Villa Lidköping. In a tight first half that ended 1-1, the audience was offered hot feelings and tough play.
In the second half, however, the audience would see a few more goals as well, and a match-making jerk. At the score 2-2 with barely 25 minutes left to play, Villa showed master class. First, Martin Andreasson bombed in 2-3 after Felix Pherson's corner, and just under a minute later Johan Esplund found William Arvidsson central who extended the lead.
The reigning champions were not ready there, but also scored a fifth goal seven minutes later and took an iron grip on the match. However, Edsbyn managed to reduce to 3-5 with four minutes left, but they did not come any closer.
- They are better first 20, then we take over. Great fun and huge effort by us, especially defensively, says Villas Jesper Eriksson to Bandyplay.
