I did a similar thing at the Olympics and after that I didn’t score. It was good to see her come in, says Anton Lander.
raw time They had a tough time early in the first half when they faced the in-form Orebro team. The home team was forced to play three against five for a period of one minute 47 seconds after being hit by two shots in 13 seconds. But that particular storm swept through without any major problems.
Two minutes later, they went instead for a back goal when goalkeeper Jacob Johansson hit a rebound directly to Elias Ekström, who made it 1-0 to Örebro with his first goal of the season. However, Johansson will take revenge later in the match.
In the second half, Leo Carlson made it 2-0 for the visitors. The match has been even so far and Timra had more shots but not as intense as Orebro in the attack area.
In the third inning, luck turned for the home team. Albin Lundin gave a puck and knocked it out. Not long after, Emil Peterson made it 2-2.
Five penalties saved
Extra time could not separate the two teams and the match had to be decided by penalties.
Jacob Johansson, who hit the rebound directly from the first goal Elias Ekström, took revenge and was a beast in the penalty shootout. The Timrå goalkeeper saved the five penalties from Örebro. However, Timra’s penalty shootout failed to exploit the opportunity before Anton Lander, as the fifth player, scored the first and only penalty kick.
