You don’t need a full Scandinavium for Frölunda to start matches at a high pace. Against Skellefteå, they immediately took command and found many central loopholes for the defense of the guests. Therefore, the 1-0 was not a shock. Johan Sundström won a melee in the left corner, allowing Robin Alvarez to spin the puck and then put the puck into a pure Patrik Carlsson in front of goal that easily lifted the goal lead.
Despite Frölunda’s playing advantage, Skellefteå was not harmless. Jonatan Berggren and Joakim Lindström each had a puck in the goal frame. However, there would be a wider lead before Skellefteå overtook Johan Mattsson.
Sundström showed class again
At 15 minutes of the second, Johan Sundström showed strength again. In the waves of a power play, he took matters into his own hands from a position in the left corner, and took a direct step into goal, circling Gustaf Lindvall on Skellefteå’s goal and making it 2-0.
Skellefteå just a minute later got a ticket back to the match when Kiiskinen was hooked in a free position. Joakim Lindström, who had yet to score this season, had a chance but failed despite cheating on Mattsson.
However, revenge came immediately. 68 seconds later, Lindström scored a high left hole in the castle and scored the reduction in the center right.
Lindström’s top scorer returns
In the third, Skellefteå was on a search for receipts. And in the end, it is small. Lindström showed that he is still the goal thief he has been in recent years and acknowledged it with just over four minutes to go. After Andreas Wingerli made good preparation, Lindström got the club’s advantage on the puck when he crashed into goal.
60 minutes was not enough
After a goalless extra time, it was penalties that decided the game. There it was Frölunda who drew the longest glass after Lucas Raymond became the sole scorer.
