Tough Play Off games

Heden is full of tough play off games. In the last 1/16-final in Boys 18’s A-play offs, a derby was played between IK Sävehof 2 and Önnereds HK.

The game was relatively even in the beginning of the game, but then Sävehof took control and kept a lead of 4-5 goal during the major part of the game. Then Önnered exploded and scored goal after goal. Viktor Fåglund was a strong contributor to the change that occurred in the end of the game.

With a couple of minutes left of the game Sävehof’s lead was down to just one goal. Sävehof’s playmaker Olle Schefvert gets then injured and has to step of the field. Önnered scores and even out the result to 15-15 with only one minute left. Sävehof takes the lead again right afterwards with 16-15, and it looks like they are going to win. But Önnered rises once again and scores with just some seconds left of the game.

Sävehof wins the advantage to start with the ball in sudden death. It is both nervous and steaming feelings on the field. As a player from Sävehof is trying to get through the defense a player gets pushed in the back. A Önnered player gets a red card. Sävehof runs out of time in their initial attack and doesn’t score, and Önnered gets a chance determine the game. They would probably have won the game with one man short if it hasn’t been for Sävehof’s goalkeeper Isak Lindh extraordinary double save.

In the following attack Sävehof score and determine the game, and it was both happy and relieved players in Sävehof after the game.

Thanks to this IK Sävehof has manage to get all their three Boys 18-teams to the 1/8-finals of the A-play offs.
