Away, in front of 1700 spectators, Södertälje won 69-55 against Jämtland, and leads the semis with 1-0 in matches.
The guests were the best scorer in three of four periods, where the second was most decisive - it made the eleven points more.
- We try to mix between playing zone defense and man-man, and make them hesitate a little offensively.
And that may cause them to lose some self-confidence.
At the same time, we do not want to relax for a second, because Jämtland came second in the basic series and it is a very, very good team.
Coming here and pinching the first win is very big for us, says Martin Pahlmblad to SVT Sport.
Advantage Norrköping in the second semis
Södertälje's team captain accounted for 17 points in the win, he put five of his eleven three-point attempts.
- It is my role to take the open shots when I get them.
And it's more people scolding me when I'm not shooting the ball, than when I'm shooting.
So it's just continuing to shoot as much as I can, and today the ball sat when it was important.
The next meeting in the semifinal series will be decided on Saturday.
In the second semifinal, the reigning champion team Norrköping won 103-90 against Luleå.
