Västerås won the classic meeting after a big fight

It was also Berllins Sandviken who opened the quarter-final series best.

Already after three minutes, the guests took advantage of a corner and set the opening goal.

A few minutes later, that lead was extended.

But then the fun was over.

2-0 became 2-2 and then a big fight broke out between the teams before Västerås completed the turnaround just before half time.

- It feels great at 2-0 and we get most of the first half where we want.

But when it comes to those double expulsions, it goes back and forth too much, and it suits VSK better than us, says Hannes Edlund.

In the second half, the home team continued on the beaten path and Västerås finally won the first meeting 8-3.

The next quarter-final meeting, best of five, will be played on Sunday.
