Angelholm. Rögle did the unexpected, turned around and won on HV71.
This is after HV71 got rid of a penalty kick.
The giant wing HV71 was raised after revision.
– I don’t know the rule book so I don’t know. But as long as you control the ball and keep taking the penalty forward, I think it’s a goal, but they don’t think so, Anton Sterleman tells TV4 after the match.
It was a typical six-point game or bottom-flight battle at Catena Arena on Thursday night.
HV71, in the qualifying position, against Rögle are in a position above HV in the table and before the match there were three points between the two teams.
Rögle, who is usually very strong on the home ice, started the match very weakly and conceded several scoring chances on the rebound and in the area in front of goalkeeper Peter Kavaca – in the so-called hot zone.
Now Rögle was very cold in that particular area and it immediately became dangerous.
Oscar Stål Lyrenäs and Isac Brännström were centimeters away from ensuring the visitors took the opening lead.
After 3.11, the goal finally came when Nick Shore slotted a rebound into the open goal. Fair enough, it should be noted as well.
Rögle continued to pause and the home team’s first shot on goal took nearly seven minutes to play after the touchdown.
Dramatic penalty shootout
After 11:30, HV71 rose to 0-2 after Mance Lindback took control. Rögle had great difficulty clearing the dangerous area in front of his goal.
Rögle was of course not satisfied with the first period.
We have to find rival clubs, and there were costly mistakes for us in front of goal. “We have to win games and show strength,” Cam Abbott told TV4 after the opening show.
But Rögle’s struggles continued in the second half and Anton Sterleman scored 0-3 after 3.39 – of course in the area right in front of Peter Kavaka. Sterleman pulled the puck in with one hand while lying in the air and on a backhand. Strong of 37 years.
Rögle then scored two quick goals, but when HV71 made it 2-4, many might have thought the game was over.
but not.
Rodrigo Apolles, new from Örebro, wanted differently and scored 3-4 and 4-4 in the third term.
The match was decided on penalties, where Rögle was the stronger.
However, HV71 scored in the penalty shootout, but it was disallowed due to an incorrect penalty kick, which created great frustration and irritation in HV71. Coach Johan Lindbom looked very upset. HV71 goalkeeper Johnny Ortio praised the referees’ decision somewhat spitefully.
– They say they are checking Stockholm and checking the rule book. They see his good shot as the end and when it’s over, they consider his sentence over, Anton Sterleman tells TV4 and continues:
– very Difficult. I think the movement is still forward. I don’t know the rule book so I don’t know. But as long as you have control and keep taking penalties, I think it’s a goal, but they don’t think so.
