Definitely, it would have been hard to tell a favourite team in this duel. After Espoo was defeated by Pixbo the day before, you might name this a weakness. After 31 seconds Haninge scored the first goal of the match. After that, the match was fantastic - fast, of highest technical quality and dominated by two incredible goalies, Timo Ketonen and Tom Wester. Especially in first half, Wester made several world-class saves.
The first goal of second half was scored after five minutes by Haninge again. After Kuronen scored the 1-2 goal, he was sent to the bin for five minutes for roughing because he fought an opponent forward who attacked Ketonen. At this time, the Oilers were already short-handed. Haninge was not able to score during nearly two minutes of two-man-advance and three more of one-man-powerplay, which was especially a result of Espoo's great boxplay and Ketonen's amazing saves.
As this efford was honored by the crowd, the spectators cheered very much on Karppanen's goal in the 42th minute which tied the score. The longer the match took place, the longer both teams waited desperately for the opponent to make the deciding mistake. A great shot by Kontilainen decided the match by Sudden death.
This was one of the best floorball matches I have even seen, I would even compare it with the World Cup 2002 final in Helsinki. Both teams would have deserved the win, but Haninge wasted their chances to decide the match in second period.
