First, 1.27 into the third overtime period, Linus Omark scored the winner. Before that, he had ensured that Luleå took the game to overtime with his 2- 2 goal with 1.19 minutes remaining of regular time.
Omark missed the quarterfinal series against Växjö, but was back against Frölunda. He himself thinks that it wasn't until the fourth semifinal that he got going.
I needed a few matches to get started. But now it was time to deliver, he says to TV4 Play.
Luleå's victory meant that they broke a nearly three-year losing streak. In April 2022, they last won against Frölunda in Göteborg.
Frölunda had a 2–1 lead in matches before the second consecutive home game.
The home team's Mikael Ruohomaa scored 1–0 just 1.42 into the game.
But Luleå equalized halfway into the first period, Isac Hedqvist on a counterattack. Frölunda extended their lead to 1 in the third period and were heading for victory. However, in a 6-on-5 situation, after Luleå had pulled their goalie Matteus Ward, Linus Omark could take the game to extra time with 1.19 minutes remaining of the game.
Match five will be played in Luleå.
