With Christoffer Edlund, Felix Pherson and Petter Björling ill, Villa vacuumed up the younger ranks to get a team together.

"Of course it's a childhood dream. Of course, it's faster and super fun to get a feel for it. It's among the best you want to play, says Alwin Andersson, one of three juniors who started on the bench, who was only notified of playing yesterday, to Bandypuls's webcast.

Andersson is the youngest player ever at Villa.

"They said I looked old when I sat on the bench between schoolchildren," smiles 37-year-old Martin Andreasson after the game.

"Sour with only one point"

At the beginning of the second half, Edsbyn equalized. The ball went to Vadim Arkhipine who couldn't get a grip on the bouncing ball and hit the air twice before he got a hit the third time, a shot that was saved on the goal line by outfield player Martin Hammarberg. On the rebound, Teemu Määttä rushed forward and scored 1-1.

With twelve minutes left, Edsbyn took the lead. After a corner, Albin Bysell Söderkvist scored 2-1. Villa equalized to 2-2 in the 94th minute after a quick free kick when Edsbyn's Oscar Wikblad looked to Erik Säfström who had received the free kick and was lying down on the ice.

"It's sad and sad that we only get one point after a game like this, even if we took a point in advance, every point is important," says Edsbyn's Albin Bysell Söderkvist.
