Karlskoga's turnaround at the top meeting

Södertälje was 29 seconds from victory in the Hockeyallsvenskan top match against Karlskoga. Then the home team scored two goals and won 4-3 in overtime. We're giving away three points, says Södertälje coach Magnus Bogren.

Södertälje tops the table along with Djurgården on 69 points. BIK Karlskoga is third on 67.

Södertälje led 3–1 in the third period and got the chance to make it 4–1 when they were awarded a penalty after Karlskoga's Hampus Plato threw his stick when Jacob Dahlström broke free. But Miikka Pitkänen missed the penalty shot.

Instead, the home team pushed on after pulling their goalie and getting a power play advantage. With 28 seconds left of the match, they scored through Christoffer Jansson. And 21 seconds later, Jansson scored again, giving Karlskoga an extension.

1.08 into the extension, Rikard Olsén broke free and scored 4–3.

I've burned a lot of energy this year and honestly didn't know what to do. But then I saw the opening, says Olsén to TV4 Play.

Södertälje coach Magnus Bogren is not happy after the loss.

We had full control and should have closed the match. To then let in three goals in two minutes is bloody awful, he says to TV4 Play.

We did really well for 58 minutes. It's so sour right now.

The previously top-ranked team Björklöven suffered their fourth consecutive loss, 1–2 against Almtuna, and are now fourth, four points behind the leaders.
