The newcomer Karlstad, in turn, won its premiere away against Malmö and after the first period, the chances looked good to take the second straight victory.

Linnea Juhlin gave Karlstad the lead after nine minutes of play in powerplay.

But the second period became a nightmare for the women of Värmland.

Falun equalized after 1.30 and 18 minutes later Falun had gone from 5-2.

Three two-goal shooters

Falun continued to produce forward in the prelude to the third period when the team went from 7-2, after, among others, Patricia Forsell scored her second goal of the match.

A little personal revenge in the match for Forsell who was sent off when Karlstad scored the lead goal.

Karlstad admittedly reduced twice quickly - but could never threaten the away team.

In the end, it was 9-4 in favor after Emelie Björklund and Clara Hellgren also became two-goal shooters.

Karlstad was not much worse in terms of play, but in the end Falun was more or less clinically effective compared to the home team.
