SHE was back after the World Cup break. Skövde started the match tonight carelessly. After technical errors and pass misses, Lugi took command of the match. The away team could go up in a stable lead, thanks in large part to talented Clara Lerby on the left who acquired a takeover at Skövdekeeper. Tyra Axnér finished the goalscorer in the first half and Lugi led 15-8.
Lugi continued to control the game in the second half and looked to be able to bring home two comfortable points. But Skövde was not ready. With ten minutes left, Clara Lerby sat there 24-18 to the guests, but then the young middle niece Elma Örtemark woke up in Skövde. The 18-year-old scored three straight goals and Skövde had contact.
With one minute left Elisabeth Collado Ngamandouva got the chance to put 26-27 in the open box on return. But the Lugi defense accounted for a wonderful home run and managed to block the shot. Instead, Clara Lerby was able to set her seventh goal of the evening on penalty and the final score was written to 28-26.
Lugi, with a match more played, buttons the victory into the team at the top and now has only three points up to leading Höör.
