The match between the two newcomers at the arena in Västerås was played two days after the school attack in Fagersta, which is just over 60 kilometres from Västerås.

A 17-year-old girl was killed and two boys were seriously injured in the attack. On Sunday, an 18-year-old man was remanded in custody by Västmanland District Court on probable cause on suspicion of murder and attempted murder.
