Vaxjo Lakers HC U20 handled Rogle BK 4-1 in regulation, and the margin came almost entirely from a three-goal third period. Through 40 minutes this was a one-goal game; it did not stay that way.
The opening period was scoreless, with neither side converting anything into the net. Vaxjo took a 1-0 lead into the second intermission, then broke it open in the third, outscoring Rogle 3-1 over the final 20 minutes to close at 4-1.
The number that matters is the period split: 0-0, 1-0, 3-1. Vaxjo scored all four of its goals after the first intermission, and Rogle's only answer came too late to change the shape of the night.
