A one-man rearguard from Pyry Piirainen
There were 9 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

JIPPO to lose Lauri Sahimaa for free
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Lauri Sahimaa has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

A bad afternoon for JIPPO against PK-35
0‑2 to PK-35, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

In brief
- Market JIPPO promote Mikael Hakola from within
