After 20 minutes, most indicated that Edsbyn would leave Västerås with a victory.

But the landslide was coming.

Within ten minutes at the end of the first half, Västerås scored three unanswered goals - and after the break they continued on the beaten path.

Daniel Johansson equalized and in the 59th minute Västerås was suddenly in the lead when Martin Landström put 5-4.

Edsbyn on the other hand, had a terrible day.

With ten minutes left to play, it was a tie, 6-6, and in the 85th minute Västerås thought they had sent in a lead goal but it was ruled out for offside.

Instead, Edsbyn would decide shortly afterwards.

A long ball was lifted towards Oscar Wikblad who came forward and put the final score 7-6.

- That we win this, we are incredibly strengthened, says Oscar Wikblad in Sportblade's broadcast.
