Rögle dominated the match – several times.
But Frölunda defended with impressive victories and won in overtime.
– It’s absurd that we can go back, says Roger Ronberg, coach of the Frolland team, at Cmore.
Frölunda finally wins against Rögle away – after a crazy match.
Rögle’s Simon Hjalmarsson (!) kicked the puck himself and smashed tennis-style 3-0 from close range.
– He seems to be both a footballer and a hockey player, says Rögle’s Ludwig Larsson in C More.
Then Frölunda woke up.
Eight goals in one period
Now wait, because the nets really rocked.
Within 70 seconds, the Gothenburg residents went from 3-0 to 3-2 through Anthony Greco and Peteri Lindbohm.
The next quarter was more like watching a replay. Rogl had a three-goal lead again, but before the second goal was over, Frolunda was one goal behind.
Incredible transformation
Who did it?
The great star Louis Ericsson, who scored two goals within 13 seconds.
After 60 minutes, Frölunda leveled it, 6-6, and waited for extra time. There, Ryan Lash stepped forward and scored an extra point for Gothenburg.
– I’m completely exhausted. It’s a no-brainer we can go back to. Did we score seven goals? It’s terribly strong mentally from the boys, says Coach Roger Ronberg at Cmore, ’cause we think we let some really foul goals in today.
– It’s a very strange match, because I’m very happy with our attacking game. We create great chances to score over and over again, it’s like we’re going into the attacking zone.
