Luleå Hockey claimed a 4-3 victory over Frölunda after a marathon semifinal game lasting 117 minutes and 29 seconds. Mathias Bromé scored the overtime winner in the sixth period, extending Luleå's series lead to 3-1. The match included a controversial disallowed goal and an injury.
Frölunda took an early 2-0 lead after the first period, but Luleå responded with a goal before Frölunda extended to 3-1 in the second. Luleå mounted a comeback in the third period, tying the score at 3-3 and forcing overtime for the third straight game in the series. Luleå leads the best-of-seven semifinal 3-1 following the win. In the first overtime, Frölunda was penalized for too many men on the ice. Oskari Laaksonen scored during the power play, but officials disallowed the goal after video review of a scrum involving Linus Högberg and Linus Omark near goaltender Lasse Johansson. TV4 expert Petter Rönnqvist called it a '50/50 situation,' noting Omark slowed and received a push. The fourth overtime period ended goalless, with Frölunda coach Robert Ohlsson criticizing his team's play: 'We stopped playing.' In the fifth, Frölunda's Noah Hasa left injured after a collision with Luleå's Pontus Andreasson, appearing unable to bear weight on his right leg. The decisive moment came in the sixth overtime when Christian Folin lost his edge, creating a two-on-one. Linus Omark passed to Bromé, who deked Johansson for the winner. Bromé said, 'I was so damn tired and was going to change, but then I saw Folin lose his edge... Limpan finds me.' He added the earlier goal 'is a goal any day of the week.' Ohlsson noted, 'Luleå finds a way to win these overtimes.'
