Games sand. Lexand suffered his third loss in a row.
Oscarshamn won Thursday night’s match at Tejera Arena on penalties.
– It was fun to stand in the goal today, says the visiting team’s goalkeeper, Emil Kroos.
Kale Östmann’s first goal of the season would have given Leksand a long-awaited three points, but Henk Zuhorna equalized for Oskarshamn and the match went to extra time and penalties.
In the shootout, 12 penalties were awarded before it became clear that Oscarshamn had been awarded two points.
“He receives very good help”
Emil Kroos only missed one penalty kick.
– It was really cool. “We didn’t start the way we wanted to this season, and today I thought we gave a really good effort,” says the Echo goalkeeper.
He praises the defensive game.
-I felt great today. I think I’m getting good help. We talked about being strong against both goals. This is where we are moving forward today. We are very strong in front of me. I see too much and the returns disappear. It was fun to finish today.
Still the last
Leksandssonen Viktor Lodin was also satisfied with the win and the match.
– It’s fun to come back here and play, there’s always a good crowd here. I myself stood up following the cheering. He says there are a lot of family and friends watching here, so it’s a lot of fun.
Oscarshamn is still huge in the SHL and has seven points after eleven games. Leksand has 13 points after eleven matches.
