Hammarby went to the break with 3-0 in the back on a rainy Zinkensdamm.
When then Sandviken caught up to 3-3 and there was almost half an hour left, most people thought that Saik would take over.
But Hammarby could walk away again in the wet.
When Kasper Milerud scored 6-3 after Saik tried to calm down against a fierce Bajen offensive with five minutes left, the match felt decided.
- It is difficult to play and we make a good first half and then lose momentum when they get a little bounce but it is strong to turn back.
Nice that the balls fell in for their own part, but most nice that we won, says David Jansson to Aftonbladet and the two-goal shooter did not care that the weather gods were not in the best mood.
- We will go out and fight for two points and the weather will look like anyway, says Jansson.
"Sad to lose when we were catching up"
Saik was completely under the ice in the first sea game but still caught up - without being able to take advantage of it.
- We had a miserable start.
They had 3-0 with bids for more and it is strong that we catch up but then it is coincidence that decides.
But sad to lose when we were catching up.
Unfortunately, that was not enough, says the experienced goalkeeper Joel Othén.
He can compare many Saik vintages and this year's edition is a mixture of talent and routine.
- This is a match on the way to something bigger.
We take steps all the time, says Othén.
