Rooth: "Brynäs was taken seriously"

It was the basic series three Luleå who won the first final in the SDHL.

They turned a 2-1 deficit in front of a home crowd.

The expert Maria Rooth had expected more from Brynäs.

- I think Brynäs was taken seriously by going in as favorites.

They meet a team that is very good at playing playoff games.

We did not see what Brynäs can do.

They did not get into the match the way they want, she says.

Rooth was instead impressed by the aggressiveness of the reigning champion Luleå.

Among other things, it led to Viivi Vainicka's decisive goal.

- It was based on the stressed slopes.

They did much more than Brynäs.

Now two matches await in Gävle in the match series which will be decided in the best of five.

- I think Luleå won fairly.

They had a game plan that they followed.

Brynäs did not come up to level, it is a bit up to proof.

1-0 to Luleå in the mental match.
