Nobody could get near Otso Koskinen
Successful dribbles: 45. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Tempers go at FC Lahti
Stanislav Kritsyuk was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Tòfol Montiel the difference as FC Lahti beat HIFK

A masterclass from Tòfol Montiel
Marked 8.17 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

This league is too small for Stanislav Kritsyuk
He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. FC Lahti will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

Nobody at FC Lahti has picked up the phone to Tòfol Montiel
48 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

A long bet from FC Lahti on Jaakko Lam
He is 14, and nobody at FC Lahti signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.

A long bet from FC Lahti on Eero Taylor

FC Lahti buy the years ahead of Leo Arajuuri
He is 14, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.
In brief
- Squad FC Lahti pick somebody else ahead of Armend Kabashi
- Squad Justus Ojanen is the weekend's best young player
