Linköping was late against Oskarshamn.
Then the LHC turned on in less than a minute.
– These are invitations, says Oskarshamn’s assistant coach Mikael Holmqvist, to Sea More, after the 4-5 loss at home.
It swayed back and forth several times. But in the end, Linkoping managed to win 5-4 at home over Oskarshamn.
The host team advanced in the match through Patrick Karlqvist. The 30-year-old king scored his eleventh goal of the season, when he scored 1-0 in strong play.
Linkoping’s response came just four minutes later, when Brock Little made it 1-1.
After a late goal in the first half, and an early goal in the second half, Oskarshamn managed to lead 3-1.
Allow easy goals
But Linköping did not abandon her. Patrick Russell introduced the cut first. And then only 54 seconds separated the away team equalizer and the goal 4-3.
– These are more or less invitations. Oskarshamn’s assistant coach Mikael Holmqvist tells C More, some unnecessary sending-offs and some easy goals we let in.
A little double-target shooter
Barely 20 seconds into the third period, Linkoping expanded again. Brock Little scored his second goal of the match, after a misunderstanding between Tim Joel and Niklas Borstrom. Then goalkeeper Joel fell to the goal post – easily taking Little’s 5-3 lead in the game.
Oskarshamn cut back less than a minute from the end of the match, but it was the last goal of the match. In doing so, Linköping is ninth in the ranking, while Oskarshamn is second in the ranking.
There are always a lot of goals when you play against this team, it seems. We might be a bit passive in third, but that’s not too strange,” says Sebastian Strandberg, who scored and assisted.
