Luleå Dominates Frölunda 5-1, Nears Ice Hockey Final

Luleå has the "match ball" in the SM semifinal series in ice hockey after having crushed Frölunda in the fifth match with 5–1. It was a damn good match by us, says Pontus Andreasson.

The home team had a 2–0 lead after the first period and scored three more goals in the second. Frölunda took a timeout after 0–3 and then changed goalkeepers after 0–4, when Lasse Johansson took over in goal after Tobias Normann, but it didn't help much.

Brendan Shinnimin scored 5–0 five minutes later, his second goal of the evening.

We said before the match that we would come out hard and get a direct result. It was so damn nice, this is what we'll build on now, says Luleå's Pontus Andreasson to TV4 Play.

Andreasson scored the 2–0 goal, his ninth in the playoffs, which is a club record in a playoff.

It's fun, of course, it was nice to get back on the scoreboard again, he says.

Frölunda's coach Roger Rönnberg was naturally dissatisfied with the result. And above all with his own performance.

I'm probably doing the worst in this series as a coach. I can't get the team prepared for this match after the long match last time, he says to TV4 Play.

And from the first shift, we do exactly the things we said we shouldn't do. It's my job to get them to do it.

The sixth semifinal will be played in Gothenburg on Tuesday.

Luleå won last time in Gothenburg when Linus Omark scored the winner in the beginning of the third overtime period.
