For Lang, the decisive goal was extra nice because he was sent off when Färjestad equalized and saved a point at the end of the match.
- Yes, it was nice at the same time as it was also my first goal of the season, Lang told C More, but was at the same time a little disappointed that Leksand did not take three points.
So good was the valley team.
After the match, Färjestad's coach Johan Pennerborn was honest in C More:
- We did not earn more than one point.
We were a little too vague.
Drama in others
Leksand took the lead in the match, with 1-0, after 26 seconds in the second period.
Peter Cehlarik was on target in game five against four.
But a chain of Leksand mistakes in the middle of the period then paved the way for valley expulsion where Färjestad's Daniel Viksten could equalize and invite Färjestad to the match.
And the end of the second period was dramatic.
At first, everyone thought that Markel Hrivik had made it 2-1 for Leksand after 15.51.
Including the referee couple Wolmer Edqvist and Richard Magnusson.
But after video review, the case was ruled out, which caused very upset homework.
Judge Richard Magnusson explained to C More what happened:
- For me, it was an approved goal.
I worked close to the checkout and the puck was over the finish line.
There was nothing strange about it.
The situation room then contacted us and wanted us to see the pictures from above.
Then we saw clearly how white nine hinders the goalkeeper's left arm, the pick, in his work.
Then it is not a goal.
Daladominans in the third
At the beginning of the third period, it was only Leksand.
First, Peter Cehlarik scored his second goal of the day and then the home team lined up goal chances before Färjestad's coach Johan Pennerborn took time out to calm down his stressed players.
Färjestad came back in the game and after Michel Lindqvist's equalizer to 2-2, in game five against four, it was a match that weighed.
The decision did not come until after 34 seconds in extra time when Oskar Lang put the puck in the net.
It is noteworthy that this is the third match, in the last four rounds, which Leksand decides in overtime.
