Match19 Aug 2026
Daniel Håkans sends HJK through
Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Daniel Håkans obliged against KTP. 2‑0 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is HJK.
Match22 Aug 2026
HJK run riot against RoPS
4‑1, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Both of them Lassi Lappalainen's — 8.42
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.42, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

David Ezeh puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at HJK, and it is not being withdrawn.
Market24 Aug 2026
Lucas Lingman 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.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Liam Möller, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 8.15
A mark of 8.15 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Teemu Pukki, 36, rolls back the years — 8.09
There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 8.09 at 36, and nobody on the pitch was better.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Wallace Yan turns down HJK
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Bragantino keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.
Boardroom24 Aug 2026
HJK to lose Brooklyn Lyons-Foster for free
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Brooklyn Lyons-Foster 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.
