Sawn by the coach after the big loss: "Adults against children"

It was not long before Brynäs and the Swedish national team star Josefin Bouveng had set the tone for the semi-final match in Jönköping.

Already after two minutes of play, Bouveng put in 1-0 for the home team.

After that, there was no talk about the matter.

Emma Murén increased three minutes later and when everything was said and done, Brynäs had won with a crushing 8-0.

- It's not good at all.

We do not come out and do something that we decided we should do.

It's like adults against children, says HV71's coach Joakim Engström in C More.

Brynäs coach Henrik Glass was for obvious reasons a little happier.

- We have reached a completely different level at the end of this season.

I am very pleased with the effort, he says.

Return on Wednesday

Brynäs goalkeeper Ellen Jonsson needed to save 17 shots to keep a clean sheet.

Samantha Ridgewell was much sweatier and got 40 shots.

The next semifinal will be played in Gävle on Wednesday.

The semi-final series is decided in the best of five matches.

- Right now it's tough, we lose 8-0.

It can sting for five minutes and then there is a match on Wednesday.

We must give it an honest chance, says Engström.
