Kicked out for the high club – protested vehemently
Växjö chased down the equalizer to Rögle.
Then Erik Josefsson of Växjö showed up for a high stick on Daniel Zar – a decision he didn’t agree with at all.
– It hits the cheek, so raising the hand is a natural reaction, says Zar V.C. Moore after the 4-1 win.
Rögle got off to an engagement at Ängelholm with a somber start that had enough been recalled.
Three minutes were played when Daniel Zaar got plenty of time to get the numerical advantage. The Rögle striker cut towards the middle and slotted home a penalty in the 1-0 lead. 29 seconds later, Adam Tambellini pulled ahead and made it 2-0.
In the second period, Rögle was very close to expanding. But Linus Sandin missed a penalty and they also had a goal disallowed when Sandin was deemed offside in the goal square.
– prattle. I think it’s a goal…, says Sandeen in “See More.”
The team captain is upset
2-0 held until the third period and admittedly there was some tension when Robert Rosen shrank with 13 minutes left. But in the middle of Växjö’s pursuit of an equaliser, it was a real upswing for the visitors.
Team captain Erik Josefsson was sent off for a high stick with about ten minutes left in the game. However, Växjö’s team captain was not satisfied with this, and clearly expressed his displeasure to the judges, saying that Zaar was filming.
– I don’t really see it, but I agree with Eric’s reaction. He doesn’t usually react this way when he knows he did something wrong. But sometimes that’s the case, Växjö coach Jørgen Johnson tells C More.
Zaar says Josephson hit him on the cheek.
He hits the cheek, so perhaps raising your hand is a natural reaction. I don’t think I’m exaggerating too much, he says.
Video target scrutiny
It got worse for Vacchu when Adam Tambellini scored 3-1 on the post numerical advantage. Video reviewed goal when Dennis Everberg fouled Växjö goalkeeper Adam Åhman, but after a few minutes of looking at the screen, the referee approved the goal.
Rogli finally won 4-1 after Zar slashed the match into an empty net. Thus, with two rounds remaining, they have a firm grip on where to play. Down to Linköping in the free race, there are five points.
