With just over two minutes left of the match, Hartmann pulled away a shot from the right and goalkeeper Lasse Johansson did not get the puck.
– It’s nice to win the first match away. We believe in what we do and we are extremely consistent in our game and keep our calm. When we get the situations, we know that we are scoring goals. This can be a long series, says Hartmann.
Frölunda took a chance with extinctioned goalkeeper but instead the Oliver Kapanen could make 4-2 in empty box and a boiling scandinavium was cooled down-except for the joyous red hour.
“Looks a bit rusty”
– I think we are a snap better but one thing I am not happy with. We are just too soft in front of Tim Juel. Then we look a little rusty. It is noticeable that we have not played for a while and need to lift our game, says Frölunda’s coach Roger Rönnberg.
Tim Juel surpassed Lasse Johansson in the goalkeeper.
– We take a away game, which gives a nice feeling. It felt good and the guys worked well in front of me and I get some bounce with me. We answered good fighting around the goal, says Juel.
Thus, Timrå leads the quarterfinals series by 1-0 in the best of seven matches.
