  • 0' The stage is set the green flag drops! Another match against FC Kobenhavn and Kuopion PS has kicked off!
  • 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Dame Ndoye suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' Denis Vavro has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 20' Kuopion PS come into this ranked in Array. They desperately need points to push themselves up the standings.

  • 40' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.

  • 50' With 0 assists to his name this season, Otso Virtanen is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Kuopion PS.
