HV71 came back from two goals down – but Timrå decided in extra time.
After the loss, coach Tommy Samuelson was not satisfied with this decisive goal.
You must have some intelligence, he tells C More.
HV71 It was a tough start to the season and he has yet to make a triple pointer. Away from Timra Stadium, the first half was full of goals. Josef Laligia broke the scoring after three minutes, but Fredrik Forsberg equalized four minutes later in a tough game.
Less than two minutes later, Eric Anderson gave Timra the lead again before Nicholas Halloran increased the score to 3-1. This was the home team’s sixth shot on target, and the third on target.
But before the end of the period Eric Martinson waned, the goal came up again in the power game. HV was happy with the goals in the first half, but not by much.
“Maybe that was the only good thing we did this period,” Forsberg tells C. More.
After the second half without goals, Forsberg managed to score his second goal in the match and tied the score 3-3. Jonathan Dahlin had a great opportunity to shoot Timra toward victory with seven minutes remaining, but a shot hit the post.
Too many open dampers
The match went into overtime as both teams instantly created chances. Timrå had the most dangerous of them all and with a minute and a half left, Laleggia earned a free position that put him between the goalkeeper’s legs.
– It doesn’t matter who scores. I’m glad I was able to help the team tonight. It’s a nice feeling to win the match. We should be positive and happy now, even if you want to win in the original time, the match champion tells C More.
Thus Timrå moves up to sixth in the table, while HV is off at the bottom.
– There are a lot of open dampers for my taste. We’re the ones giving them chances and they’re skilled enough anyway, Tommy Samuelson tells C More.
The coach was not satisfied with the decisive goal in three against three.
– You must have some intelligence. It’s three in a row in the last attack, if you score, that’s fine, but you have to think about that system with you, he says.
