HK Malmö lost 29–34 to IFK Kristianstad in Tuesday's match. Nikola Roganovic scored zero goals and directed sharp criticism at himself and the team.
The match took place at Kristianstad Arena. HK Malmö erased a five-goal deficit to tie at 22–22 but then lost ground and fell by five goals.
Nikola Roganovic, the league's top scorer, called it a flat performance afterward. "We do a really bad match. We do not do what we should", he said.
Zoran Roganovic, coach and Nikola's father, criticized his son's display. "He should show that he wants to be on the court", he said.
IFK Kristianstad now holds match point in the SM final series and can decide the title on Friday at Malmö Arena.
