The blacksmiths from Eskilstuna were bad out and turned an eight-point deficit against Gislavedslaget Lejonen with two fives.
Before the last heat, it was evenly 42-42 when Smederna took a fifth through Grigorij Laguta and Gleb Chugonov and won the match 47-43.
- We make a superb end to the match.
I think the Lions are better than us at first but we really struggled into the match.
It was tough but fair racing.
We really had to fight for this win, says Pontus Aspgren, 12 points tonight, to SVT Sport.
"Became a little unnecessarily exciting"
1152 people were counted in the arena and today's win should increase interest.
- It was really propaganda speedway and if we do not sell out of tickets next time, it is strange.
It became a little unnecessarily exciting now so it is no wonder that I am completely finished, says Smedernas team leader Jimmy Jansson to the squadron.
The blacksmiths gave up last year's pandemic shortened season.
