Prior to the release, not many people had dry eyes when Jesper Mattsson's shirt was hoisted. Mattsson, who has played six seasons in Färjestad, gave a speech where he talked to his son Oliver who passed away a year ago in cancer.
- It's tough, obviously I've been thinking and thinking about this. He is always with us in our thoughts, he tells C More.
Perhaps it was precisely the emotions that allowed Malmö to come back and win, despite a dream start for Färjestad, which after just under two minutes put 1-0.
Malmö scored in a delicious way when Matias Myttynen, the day in honor, made a classic "Mattsson" and made the whip at an open position and pulled away Holm in the FBK box and then put in 1-1.
And after that Malmö took over more and more. And when Carl Persson led 2-1 late in the second period, it was a logical lead that the Skånelaget took with them to the final period. There, Färjestad lifted the game up a bit, but once they created chances, Oscar Alsenfeldt stood away, following up his zero against Örebro last match with another top effort.
Färjestad had an early chance to pick the goalkeeper, but instead Lars Bryggman was able to secure the victory for Malmö by 3-1 in the empty cage.
- Fantastic, really fun what I had to be with before the game. A nice Saturday, Jesper Mattsson says to C More in the afternoon.
