It required a fifth and decisive match in the play-out series in the hockey allsvenskan between Kristianstad and Väsby.

Kristianstad led the series 2-0 but Väsby fought back and made it a fifth match.

And it turned out to be a really thrilling one.

Väsby took the lead in the first period but Kristianstad equalized in the middle of the second.

After a goalless third period, the match went into extra time.

There were a lot of hot situations in both directions but nothing decisive came and the match went to a fifth period. Even there, there were plenty of chances and it was in the end Kristianstad's Rikard Olsén who sent in the decided 2-1 goal with a rock hard shot 11.29 into the period. Kristianstad thus stays in the hockey allsvenskan while the newcomer Väsby goes back down to the hockey arena.
