Skövde - who finished second last in SHE and thus qualifies for their survival in the top series - led 12-8 at the break and then pulled away even more in the second half.

Now the red-clad match series leads 2-0.

The best of five applies and that means that Aranäs, second in the Allsvenskan after directly promoted Kärra, must win in Skövde on Saturday to keep the night drama alive.

That match will be played at 14.00.
