In connection with the match, VSK player Joel Engström received several racist attacks from the stands directed at him.
That after losing 4-3 in the second semi-final match.
On Wednesday, VSK's club manager Michael Campese spoke about what happened:
- After the game on Tuesday, Joel told us what happened and we involved Edsbyn's club manager Franco Bergman to make common cause today.
We want to distance ourselves from this type of event.
It's a marking, we don't think it's okay, he tells VLT.
"Those were such ugly words..."
Campese stresses that sport and society must take racism very seriously.
- What I understand is that it was about words and sentences, which both teams heard.
Those were such ugly words that I don't think it's worth giving those people those expressions.
Those were very, very ugly words.
Edsbyn's club manager Franco Bergman agrees.
- We do not stand behind this at all.
We got this from VSK and Joel last night after the game.
We do not accept this, says Bergman.
The club does not yet know who or who it was, only that it came from the Edsbyn stand.
