The Swedes deployed two fresh reinforcements from the NHL – attackers Jacob Peterson of Dallas and Carl Grundström of Los Angeles. At home, they could open the home team’s score when, after forging Mikael Granlund, Manninen found Hartikainen in the ring, but Hellberg fired his shot. Säteriho tried to overcome Friberg in the 6th minute after a goal. Hartikainen had another option when Bromy was expelled.

At 11:38, the Swedes rejoiced. Defender Adam Larsson circled the goal and sent the puck behind Säteri for the left post. He could increase after a combination with Asplund Kellman. When Adam Larsson was sentenced, the Finns did not even use their second numerical advantage in the match.

In the 23rd minute it could have been 2: 0 for Sweden, because Grundström hit the opposite stick from the left circle. At 23:38, on the other hand, the Finns settled after Hellberg’s hesitation, which fell to Lehtonen’s throw. In the 26th minute, Suomi led the selection and Lehtonen was again in it. On the pass from the left mantinel, another back Vatanen came to the left post of Hellberg’s goal and scored easily. In the 35th minute, Lehtonen’s shot fell to the Swedish goalkeeper, who, however, covered Lammikk’s shot.

In a tied Nordic derby, the selection of the Three Crowns took a step in the 47th minute, when Gustafsson’s shot ran in front of Säterri Kellman. Less than three minutes before the end of the third period, Dahlin could have turned the result around, but he headed from the position between the rings to the pole.

The five-minute setting did not decide and Bemström was the only one of the ten executors at the start of the second series to beat Säteri with a shot from a position between the rings.
