The best of the regular season. Also the best in the playoffs.
After being eliminated in the semi-finals, Smyrina and Leonen settled for the SM motoGP title.
– We thought it would be a little more difficult, says Lyons Oliver Berntzon after the big victory over defending champion Dakarna.
The Blacksmiths can already take last place ahead of Tuesday’s semi-final return away from home against Rospigarna. The foundation was already laid the day before when they won at home in Eskilstuna by 20 points.
This advantage is not lost on a team that has lost only one game all season.
The hero of Dakar
With five qualifiers remaining, it was also decided by an athlete in Halstavik, then Smith’s team dominated the match and secured a semi-final victory.
Then the rose thorns gathered themselves in front of the house crowd and leveled the numbers. In the end, it was still another win for the Blacksmiths, 47-43, advancing to the SM Final with a total of 102-78.
The second comeback was potentially really exciting, just eight points behind the Lions. But defending champion Dakarna was not even close to turning the tide at home in Malia.
The Lions, who finished second in the regular season behind Smith, did not call the home team to the semifinals and eventually won by an undisputed 53-37. In general, the numbers were exactly the same as in the second semi-final: 102-78.
Then the SM Finals are held on the highway
“We thought it was going to be tougher, so we were really vigilant and we’ve had it right from the start,” Lion’s Oliver Berntzon tells C More.
The FIFA World Cup Finals will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Then Oliver Berntzon hopes his Lions can bring down the giant of the season.
– In the regular season, you can win matches if only the top players win, but in the finals, everyone has to score. If we can do what we did today, he can move on.
