Events
Match Events
- 0' The game is set. Larne FC kicks off things out of here…
- 5' It looks like no one’s ball. Helsingin JK is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 10' 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 Topi Keskinen suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Larne FC that had 6 games and scored 5 goals.
- 20' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 25' Matchday of the Array and both teams know exactly what is at stake tonight.
- 26' Against the run of play, Tuomas Ollila has scored! This game has turned on its head.
- 31' Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Larne FC needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
- 34' The crowd applauds Cian Bolger as he leaves the pitch. Craig Farquhar steps in for Larne FC.
- 39' Aaron Donnelly is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Helsingin JK so far.
- 44' Larne FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 46' The supporters are chanting for Jesse Ost. He replaces Dejan Iliev on 46 minute.
- 47' The referee shows Larne FC player a card on 47.
- 52' Bojan Radulovic is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Helsingin JK tonight.
- 56' Another substitution for Helsingin JK to replace Anthony Olusanya by Atomu Tanaka on 56 minute.
- 61' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
- 64' Jukka Raitala picks up a card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
