It was windy around Västerås IK – the wind might have caught a bit.
In the opponent’s meeting against Bek Karlskoga, the team earned three heavy points.
Anton Svensson advanced as a hero with two goals.
Vasteras can breathe. After three consecutive losses and a turbulent time in the Federation, they achieved a long-awaited victory in the contender’s encounter with Thor Karlsky. Many thanks to the hero, Anton Svensson, who responded with two goals in the match.
It was a dream to start the match
Gurkstaden’s team started quickly and managed to take a two-goal lead after the first half. First, Ludvig Jardeskog broke the deadlock before Anton Svensson could add just 20 seconds to play.
“I didn’t aim much, I fired mostly and hope you get in,” Gardiskog told C More during the break.
The second period was similar – but in the other direction. First, he reduced the visitors through king Albin Eriksson with a backhand on the cross, before Marcus Modigs equalized just a minute later.
Players in battle
Then, the match heated up as well, and with only seconds to play, home team player Jesper Kokkonen happened to be up front with guest Albin Eriksson, who swung a few punches at each other.
It’s fun to have some things happen. It’s great, Erickson tells C. Moore.
The players were also seen saying some well-chosen words to each other, but according to Ericsson, nothing special was mentioned.
– I’m too bad at talking about trash, he says.
Responsible for several giant saves
Karlskoga also made sure to create the opportunity to take the lead through Markus Modigs, but the hosts’ goalkeeper Johan Gustafsson fended off the beast when he sent off the club’s gauntlet and saves several times.
Instead, the home team took the lead when Anton Svensson scored his second goal of the evening early in the final season.
When Karlskoga started to draw, Johan Gustafsson once again stepped forward and stood on his head. With his heel on the rod, he managed to save his goal when Marcus Modigs came close to scoring again.
Alexander Loncho then permeated the match in an open box before Marcus Modig had to score a consolation goal to make it 4-3 just seconds before play.
