Quick Finland weekend review

Few words about Sunday lower league matches.

Atlantis got two additional absentees themselves from the midfield and they could not challenge properly City Stars who are a quality team.

Pallohonka could not challenge Pallo-Iirot at any time, and their emphasis is on survival at Kakkonen, the youngsters are physically and mentally too weak and being one goal behind is usually deciding.

No written report from Warkaus yet, but the direct red card at 62th minute probably did not help in the 0-2 home defeat to HIFK.

Viikingit won KooTeePee 1-0, and their 1st choice keeper got a direct red card too and will miss two games. The replacing gk Heikki Kärkkäinen is a good one.

MP lost 0-3 to PK35, and there is no light at the end of the tunnel at the moment.Thank you for visiting.

Kemi PS form is very bad, and they did miss some of their injured key players big time in the home loss vs. OPS. There was a lot of pressure on the market for OPS + 0,5 and it changed into +0,25 quite soon. OPS could be a dangerous team with full squad.

Futura won Riverball 2-0, there was heavy ”wise money” for Riverball before the match which was an even encounter.

VIFK kept on underperforming in the 2C, and GBK took a routine 0-2 win from poor Korsholm.

Kiffen won away at PePo and Jazz away at Sinimustat, and it probably tells us only about the poor class of the home teams. PePo have big injury worries and they even seemed to have a surprise starter last night as their coach did play too, but they would be in trouble even without them.

Honka – Haka 4-2 was a bit strange experience. A bad match from the hosts and Haka were probably showing their best so far at least on the first half, but in the end their weaknesses in the defence were disposed and super-sub Demba Savage did create a goal chance for Honka every time he wanted to.

TPS – HJK 0-1 was an eventless game where late goal by Jarno Parikka brought the points for the league leaders. Medo was missed again.

Jaro – KuPS 0-1 another late goal here, no highlights yet available.

MyPa – Inter 3-2 ”Our weakest match this season”, said Inter coach Job Dragtsma.
