The classic meeting in the elite series was actually supposed to have been played on December 8, but was moved forward several times due to corona infection in Edsbyn.

The reigning champions were therefore forced to take a break of almost three weeks.

The game engine Simon Jansson was charged before the tough restart at home against Sandviken.

- It will be fun to get started again, but also difficult to know where we stand, he said to Helahälsingland before the match.

Edsbyn - who had only done a few training sessions before the match - showed, however, that the pace is in and led 4-3 at the break after a swinging half.

The second half was even and even though Edsbyn had 5-4 with three minutes left, Sandviken managed to equalize.

Hannes Edlund struck after a corner after goalkeeper Anders Svensson saved in the first position.

- Fun match, fun to play.

We tried to hunt all the time and in the end we got it in, I think that's fair, says Sandviken's captain Daniel Berlin in Sportbladet's broadcast.
