It was in the first period that Dick Axelsson raised his stick against the stomach of the AIK forward.
The referee pair Johan Magnusson and Niklas Johansson handed out a five-minute penalty for spearing, but video-reviewed the situation.
Then they completely removed the penalty.
The Djurgården camp reacted strongly against the AIK forward, and both Axelsson and Grewe argued with Muzito-Bagenda.
It ended with Axelsson and Muzito-Bagenda being sent to the penalty box for unsportsmanlike conduct.
Clear spearing, he hit me in the groin, the tip slides in between the protective cup and the pants, said Muzito-Bagenda, who scored one of AIK's goals, in TV4 Play.
Neither he nor Dick Axelsson wanted to talk to the press after the game.
Tough Djurgården forward Albin Grewe was critical of the AIK player.
I think he's reinforcing, it's all too common in Swedish ice hockey. It's time to do something about it, thinks Grewe, who after the first final accused AIK forward Jordy Bellerive of biting Grewe's finger.
AIK forward Scott Pooley, a two-goal scorer in the match, was disappointed that his team lost the game.
But he refuses to give up.
We've been down 0–2 in matches before, so it's far from over. We need to learn from our mistakes and take new grips on Sunday, says Pooley, whose AIK was down 0–2 and 1–3 in the quarterfinal against Björklöven.
