Mora IK U20 took a 3-2 decision in Ornskoldsvik, and the whole thing was built in the opening 20 minutes. Three unanswered goals in the first period gave the visitors a cushion that held up through regulation.
Modo trailed 0-3 after the first and spent the rest of the night chipping at it, getting one back in the second to make it 1-3 and another in the third for the 2-3 final. The turning point never actually arrived — Mora didn't score again after the first, but they didn't need to.
The number that matters is three: Mora's first-period output, and the only goals they required. Modo won each of the last two periods 1-0 and still came up a goal short.
