It's incredibly sour. I think it's incredibly close. I'm extremely proud of my team, what we've achieved this season, says Sirius coach Jesper Larsson in Bandypuls' broadcast.
Sirius led 3–2 after the first half before Wilhelm Frimodig equalized to 3–3 in the 53rd minute. Then Landström decided with his 4–3 goal and Västerås won the quarterfinal series 3–2 in matches.
In the semifinal, a replay of the last two years' Swedish Championship finals awaits – Västerås against Villa-Lidköping. Last year, it was the Västergötlanders who took home the gold, but in 2023, Västerås won and secured the club's 23rd Swedish Championship gold on the men's side.
