- It was nice and important that we managed to turn around and win such an even match.
But we do not make a perfect match and have a lot to work on on Friday.
It is always even against Skara, says seven-goal shooter Vilma Matthijs Holmberg to Sportkanalen from Nacka Bollhall.
She seemed to have decided when she threw herself forward on the line and put 25-23 with 1.34 left but Skara struggled and it was nerve until the final second.
With 41 seconds left, Skuru took a timeout at lead 25-24 and then wanted to keep the ball as long as possible.
Alexandra Bjärrenholt had to finish with 17 seconds left but Skara's goalkeeper Lärke Sörensen glued the ball and started an attack.
However, nothing came of it but the ball was thrown away.
"Crave to win in our castle"
- We should try to get a shot on goal and are disappointed that we did not succeed with it but we offered well.
We have to win a match away and it's sad that we did not succeed today when we were so close.
Now we are eager to win in our castle, says Skara's three-goal shooter Mikaela Johansson.
Skuru got a golden opportunity to turn the match around when the team played six against four at a 17-18 deficit in 1.37 but no goals were scored during the numerical superiority.
When Daniela De Jong put 19-19 for Skuru with 13 minutes left, the home team caught up for the first time in the second half after several times falling behind with three goals.
The first time Skuru led in the second half was when Daniela De Jong put 21-20 with eleven minutes left.
Skuru is the big favorite in the series.
Skara has for the first time in the club's history gone to the playoffs.
- I see it as very difficult over five matches to defeat the series one, but in terms of one match at a time, there is a small possibility.
Skuru aims for Swedish Championship gold.
Skara is a novice in that context, coach Magnus Frisk said to his own website before the match.
