The quarter-final series is decided in the best of five matches, which meant that Kristianstad could have decided in Malmö today.
But that did not happen.
After a great victory in the first meeting and a narrow victory in the last, there was a defeat away tonight.
At half time it was equal, 12-12.
But after the break, Kristianstad relaxed his grip and controlled the match.
But the home team came in the race, and when Malmö's Hampus Jildenbäck put three straight, Kristianstad could not come back.
- I felt that I was not in the first half, and tried to do something to get into it, says Jildenbäck and continues:
- It went well today and we get some flow.
It is important that we maintain the momentum we have, and dare to be offensive and lead the match.
Then we have to take match after match and try to get another decisive quarter final.
The home team thus put a stop to the orange-clad and reduced to 1-2 in the quarter-final series in the best of five.
