Luleå defeated Frölunda 1-0 at home in Luleå, Sweden, securing advancement to the semifinals with a 4-2 series win. The final match was decided in the third period when Anton Levtchi scored 1-0 on a power play after 36 seconds. Earlier in the game, Luleå scored a goal that was reportedly disallowed by the referees after a review, which led to significant protests from the home crowd.
According to reports, the disallowed goal occurred after Frölunda defenseman Dominik Egli was pushed by Eetu Koivistoinen, interfering with goalkeeper Tobias Normann. The decision from referees Tobias Björk and Linus Öhlund followed a relatively quick review and was met with loud protests, including whistling and anger from the Luleå audience that lasted for several minutes. The home crowd was reportedly highly engaged throughout the evening, with the atmosphere at times nearing the pressure of last season's finals.
