- As we have become series winners, we have lifted this a bit and see this as a quarter final, he told Sportbladet Play before the match.
The question is whether it was really needed.
"Quarter-final opponent" Sandviken's form curve goes straight down.
This was the fifth straight loss.
Villa had no problems at all with motivation.
- It is because we should encourage ourselves and see this as a significant match.
We could have just played these two remaining matches, but we do not want to do that.
We always want to look forward to a possible Swedish Championship final and then it may be appropriate to start with the quarterfinals.
The target queen made seven new ones
Villa themselves were not entirely happy with the first half.
It ended "only" 6-3.
In others, they picked up the playoff pace and scored ten more goals.
Tilda Ström scored seven more goals.
She has now made 50 in 16 games.
- We play every match to win.
We have already won the series but are trying to find other keys to press and are trying to practice now and come well prepared for the semis, says three-goal shooter Matilda Svenler after the match.
Next Saturday awaits "quarter final 2".
Expect a goal party against KS Bandy then.
