Djurgården still waiting for first SHL win after 3-1 loss to Rögle, disputed goal reviewed for eight minutes

Djurgården will have to wait a little longer for its first SHL victory. On the road against Rögle, it lost 3-1. One of the goals was reviewed for a full eight minutes.

After this weekend's opening loss against Björklöven, Djurgården wanted revenge when they visited Rögle.

But in Ängelholm, it was another defeat. The home team took the lead in the middle period through Lubos Horky. Just over two minutes later, Joel Kellman extended the lead to 2-0.

But the celebration took a while - a long while. Eight minutes later, the referees finally approved Rögle's goal.

The reason for the delay was that the referees were checking whether Linus Sandin was on the puck in front of the goal and with a high stick. But the referees decided that it was Kellman who was the last to poke the puck over the goal line.

We'll see what they (the referees) say afterwards, they usually correct themselves and apologize, says Djurgården's Colby Sissons to SVT.

The match ended 3-1.
