Linköping's gloomy foliage suite continued: "Has the margins against us"

In an entertaining match, there were chances in both directions between Djurgården and Linköping. But for the away team it was like watching a replay from the last few rounds.

- We have played many such matches, but we have to get the margins with us, Bert Robertsson summed up after the match.

A good playful start with chances in both directions created a powerplay situation for the home team where Patrik Bergliund intercepted a return to 1-0.

A target that also needed to be videotaped before it was approved.

Shortly before, Jonas Holös also had a real cannon in the bar. At least significant for Linköping

When the intermission started, it was again situations that came for the Östgötarna and then they got 1-1.

Shortly afterwards, the away team also believed that they had taken the lead. The puck danced on the finish line and all the Linköping players cheered. The problem? Michael Haga rescued the puck at the very last moment and had managed to clear the puck. The judges double-checked and Haga himself hardly believed in the judges' decision.

- I thought it looked like it was inside, but it was nice that it didn't go in, Haga tells C More about the rescue.

After the video assessment, Linköping continued to create positions but instead it was Djurgården who had to go to break with a 3-1 lead after two quick goals in the last five.

In the third, chances continued to hail for Linköping and it is difficult to understand how Linköping could get from Hovet without points.

Sam Löfquist was free, hooked and missed. Then many away players screamed at the penalty, but the judges released without hesitation.

The next wave of situations was Broc Little. Forward had an open goal, a free-kick and close from close range, but the white-clad Linköpings player did not manage to outlast Niklas Svedberg at any time.

Instead, the consolation goal came from Jarno Kärki with a little more than two minutes left and despite a shot cavalcade, it was no more than that for Linköping.

- We're getting hot towards the end. We need that intensity throughout the game to get the margins with us. We have two video assessments that go against and should have had a penalty. We have the margins against us and it seems we can create them ourselves, "Bert Robertsson tells C More after the match.
