Sebastián Medina leads the division for assists — 8.48
The chart that decides who the scorers ought to be thanking. 1 of them made by a IFK Mariehamn player marked 8.48, and not one will be in the montage at the end of the season.

Ville Tikkanen has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around HJK they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Mats Pedersen keeps making them — 1 this month

Koper come back empty-handed
