The first round of 16 between Rögle and Leksand developed into a real thriller.
After Leksand's Matt Caito made it 1-0 early in the first period, Rögle's Dennis Everberg equalized at the beginning of the second - and then we didn't see any more goals during regular time.
Once in extra time, it was wait and see at first, but then the teams started exchanging goal chances and in the end, Leksand's great talent Lian Bichsel was able to decide the match after just over 14 minutes of play.
- I just sent the puck towards the goal and it went in, it's a fantastic feeling, says Bichsel in C More and continues:
- We know that there are always tight games against Rögle, but we had our plan and we stuck to it.
The teams meet again on Monday.
