Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Justus Ojanen runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 40. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match19 Aug 2026

FC Lahti bow out of the cup

HIFK go through and FC Lahti go home, 1‑2 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Match22 Aug 2026

No end in sight to FC Lahti's wait for a win

5 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at FC Lahti has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tòfol Montiel in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at FC Lahti this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad24 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Aatu Hakala

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Armend Kabashi falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Daniel Heikkinen runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 54. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match12 Aug 2026

FC Lahti through in the cup

A 1‑1 win over VPS, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Aatu Hakala decides it from twelve yards

1 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at FC Lahti

Aatu Hakala 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Yohan Cassubie

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

The afternoon belonged to Tòfol Montiel

A mark of 7.75, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Squad17 Aug 2026

5 new faces, and FC Lahti are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Joel Lehtonen was the difference for FC Lahti

Marked 6.77. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Market17 Aug 2026

FC Lahti bring in an old head

Erick Chávez is 38 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.

Momodou Sarr runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 29. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad10 Aug 2026

David Button signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” David Button and FC Lahti agree another 1 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at FC Lahti

Aatu Hakala 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.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

FC Lahti beat the market to Aaro Salonen from Inter Turku

Inter Turku will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Aaro Salonen has pre-agreed a move to FC Lahti, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.

Market10 Aug 2026

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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

David Button dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Match8 Aug 2026

Honours even between FC Lahti and HIFK

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Market10 Aug 2026

FC Lahti bring in an old head

David Button is 37 and has run out of things to prove. What he has left is where to stand, when to slow it down and what to say at half-time, and none of that is on a fitness chart.

Market10 Aug 2026

Sebastián Ubilla brings the grey hairs FC Lahti lacked

At 36, he has seen every situation this season can produce, twice. The legs will be managed; the head is the purchase.

Aatu Hakala in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at FC Lahti this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market3 Aug 2026

Aatu Hakala told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Aatu Hakala has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at FC Lahti.

Match1 Aug 2026

Tòfol Montiel the difference as FC Lahti beat IFK Mariehamn

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Tòfol Montiel. 1‑0 against IFK Mariehamn, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Armend Kabashi falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market3 Aug 2026

49 months and counting on Yohan Cassubie

Still no offer on the table, and Yohan Cassubie’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Tòfol Montiel was the difference for FC Lahti

Marked 7.68. Ask anyone leaving the ground what settled it and you will get one name, which is the only award that has ever really counted.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tòfol Montiel is off the mark for FC Lahti

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.
