In the 93rd minute, Johan Löfstedt found his way with an open pass in the depth to the shooting king Edlund, who free from the left wing scored 6-5 for Villa.
There was no overtime and the referee blew the match off half a minute later.
- It was fantastically nice, but it was tight, my God.
We got a little comfortable and get pushed down.
I think it was more of an advantage for Bollnäs, but the margins are small.
They were heavy and we had to fight but now have 2-0, says Edlund to Elitserien Live.
Shortly before, Bollnäs was extremely close to making it 6-5, had a couple of chances in the same sequence.
- It's very sad and I think we deserve to win the match, damn it, says Bollnäs' Oskar Westh.
Debated penalty when Bollnäs was in the zone
Otherwise, Bollnäs had turned 0-3 into 4-3 and was about to take over the match.
- We get sent off where we lose the momentum, said Villa's captain Martin Karlsson about that period of the match.
Of particular note was the penalty that Bollnäs received before 3-3 where basically all the players stood and booed at Villa's goalkeeper Jesper Thimfors.
- It looks as if all the players are pushing in each direction and then he finds a penalty.
It felt a bit strange but he must have seen something, said Villas' Martin Karlsson about the judge's assessment.
Although Bollnäs profited from the incident, surprise was expressed at the verdict.
- They put the ball against the goalkeeper's shin guards, where you prevent us from taking it and then it is a blocked ball and apparently you are not allowed to do that.
It's clear as hell, but it's a strange rule, said Bollnäs big star Erik Pettersson.
