The Villa players went out on the ice with their gold helmets and celebrated in a television puck pile. The dent was raised to The Queen's "We are the Champions".

"It's unbelievable. There were big numbers but I in which," Sanna Gustafsson told SVT Sport.

In the final regular minute, Tilda Ström closed the circle by making it 8-1 after a free throw. She started by scoring Villa's first four goals.

"You know that VSK has caught up in a final before and you don't dare believe it until the final whistle sounds," says captain Agnes Ögren.

In the middle of the second half, Ström picked up a throw from goalkeeper Sofie Millqvist, set off and rounded the VSK defense on the left side and lifted 4-0 into the far post, a fascinatingly beautiful bandy goal.

Ström's show began in the fourth minute

Already in the fourth minute, Villa's shooting queen Tilda Ström got into a position in the middle and shot from outside to the right of Västerås goalkeeper Isabelle Larsson. Favourite Villa got off to a 1-0 start.

VSK levelled the game but Tilda Ström extended to 2-0. She twisted the ball, which Isabelle Larsson tried to catch up to first but at the last moment Ström got the club out, spun around and lifted a backhand for 2-0.

"Maybe it's the best player in the world"

Just before the break, Strom clipped in his third goal for 3-0 on the half-volley after turning around, an artistic goal in the top flight.

"It's a lot of coincidences and it's bouncing. Now I was lucky enough that the balls went in," Strom said after his three goals in the first half.

"Maybe it's the best player in the world," says SVT's commentator Chris Härenstam.

The reason the ladies played their final tonight, the first time that men and women were separated, was partly to give them better ice conditions and partly to give them more attention. The men's final will be played at 17:00 p.m. on Saturday.
