Södertälje had a tough time in the last round.

It did not get easier when they faced Norrköping in a replay from last year's final.

The home team had a playhouse and sat in the driver's seat immediately - and in the second period, the guests' uphill slope became far too steep.

Despite the Dolphins leading 56-38 into the halftime break, they continued to accelerate with Nathan Dawit in the lead.

- We must be on our toes.

We know they know how to come back, we must not relax and must be ready for a tougher second half, says Nathan Dawit in SBL play.

"Good enough to win all the shit"

Last season, Södertälje won both league matches with 32 and 18 points respectively.

But stopping a strong shooting guard is easier said than done.

Nathan Dawit got most things right when he accounted for the most points, with his 20, in the Dolphins.

Lazar Radosavljevic also made an incredibly strong effort, but despite the fact that he accounted for the most points in the match, it was not enough all the way for the guests.

- We may think it should be a little too easy.

We may have to realize that we're good enough to win all the shit, but there's a lot of work to be done.

Now it's just a matter of putting on the gloves and doing the hard work, says Martin Palmblad and continues:

- We got a bang against Jämtland, and now we got it tough against Norrköping.

It was finally 110-84 to Norrköping Dolphins when Södertälje went on the second straight lead.
