Malmö. Team Skåne at its best and a team that walks on water.
It was then the in-form Rögle who won the derby in Malmo 4-0.
– Rögle shocked us today, says Fredrik Handemark from Malmö.
After 60 minutes of play at Malmö Stadium, it became clear that Skåne’s two SHL teams were headed in two different directions.
After a poor start to the season, Rogel has recovered and his disciplined efforts in the opposition encounter mean that Ängelholm’s side have now recorded five wins in a row.
-Playing hockey is more fun now. Especially in the afternoon like this. “We have the complete package today,” says Anton Bengtsson, Rogel’s team leader.
As for Malmo, the situation is the opposite. The home team did not have much to oppose and the 0-4 loss was the team’s fourth in a row.
Early goal
When Brady Ferguson made it 1-0 78 seconds later, it was also a sign of the direction the derby was headed.
Rögle were outnumbered in the Malmö arena and the home team had major problems creating danger.
Midway through the first period, Rögle also had his first power play of the game and then Adam Tambellini scored on a rebound to make it 2-0.
Malmo stepped up a notch at the end of the first half and tested Christopher Refalke in goal on several occasions. But five minutes after midnight, Rodrigo Ables scored his sixth goal in his last five games – and then the air seemed to be going out of Malmo.
“The situation is very strange”
It looked like things were going to get worse in the third period when Jan Kaukkanen went straight to the locker room. Malmo’s point king fired a direct shot, but during the movement of the shot Rodrigo Abulwak hit Rodrigo Abulu’s shin guard with the club and appeared to be in severe pain.
Kuokkanen grabbed his forearm and headed straight to the locker room.
The situation is very strange and confusing. There is nothing ugly about Abols, says TV4 Play expert, Almen Bibic, in the broadcast.
But a few minutes later, good news came for Malmo when Kaukkanen returned to the ice. The Finn was also the closest to goal when he hit the woodwork.
However, there were no goals for Malmo, but Rogel won 4-0.
The win also means Rogel moves up to 11th place and overtakes Malmo in the table.
