For HJK, the goalscorers were Alex Ring (8'), Teemu Pukki (66') and Santeri Hostikka (70'). Armaan Wilson (34') scored for KTP.

It’s not been often in recent games where HJK have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that HJK have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, leaking 5 goals on the way. With no two games being the same, we must now wait to see if the trend shall be sustained here in this match.

Leading up to this clash, HJK:
