Pukki's goal secures Suomen Cup title for HJK Helsinki


HJK Helsinki wins a record-extending 15th Suomen Cup title with a 1-0 victory over KuPS, thanks to a decisive goal from Teemu Pukki just before the hour mark.


Pukki's goal extended HJK Helsinki's Suomen Cup title record to 15, their first since 2020...


Teemu Pukki's winning goal in the 2025 Suomen Cup Final will be remembered as a magical moment in his return to HJK Helsinki. The veteran striker scored the decisive goal just before the hour mark, securing a 1-0 win over KuPS at Tammelan Stadion in Tampere.


Pukki's goal extended HJK Helsinki's Suomen Cup title record to 15, their first since 2020. This victory marks a significant milestone for the team and Pukki's contribution will not be forgotten. The match ended with HJK Helsinki dominating the scoreboard, 1-0, with Pukki's goal being the highlight of the game.


KuPS's dominance in the cup competition was disrupted by Finland's most successful team, ending their three-year winning streak, including last season's victory. The team's recent performance had shown a strong grip on the competition, but they faced a tough opponent.


The match between KuPS and their opponents was a closely contested one, with minimal shots on target in both halves - only one in the first half and one in each of the second 45 minutes. The tension was palpable as both teams fought for every ball.




The Helsinki side capitalized on their chance in the second half, showcasing patient build-up play on the left flank. Alex Ring expertly drove towards the KuPS defense, benefiting from a fortunate touch that allowed him to reach the edge of the box. From there, he delivered a precise pass to Vicente Besuijen, an Aberdeen loanee positioned on the right side of the penalty area.


The Dutchman expertly squared the ball across the goal to an unmarked Teemu Pukki, who calmly scored with a simple finish, securing his 19th goal of the season. This decisive goal was enough for HJK Helsinki to claim the Suomen Cup trophy, their 15th title in the competition.


HJK Helsinki lifted the trophy in front of a large contingent of fans who had traveled to Tampere to support their team. The victory marked a significant achievement for Miika Nuutinen's side, who now aim for a Veikkausliiga and Suomen Cup double.


Upcoming Matches

Both HJK Helsinki and KuPS will return to league action in midweek. KuPS, who won the double in 2024, will seek to retain their Suomen Cup title, while HJK Helsinki will look to complete their own double.




Teemu Pukki has been in excellent form this season, scoring 13 goals in the Veikkausliiga and 19 goals in all competitions. His impressive performance has contributed significantly to HJK Helsinki's success.
