KuPS Clinches Victory Against Inter Turku in Veikkausliiga

KuPS takes command

Inter Turku have spent many weeks as the leaders of the Veikkausliiga this season, with holders KuPS chasing their coat tails.

KuPS doubled their lead just 10 minutes later when Saku Savolainen set up Mohamed Toure to score...

Mjällby's Allsvenskan title celebration will have to wait a bit longer after Hammarby secured a 2-1 win over IFK Göteborg. With four matches left to play, Hammarby trails Mjällby by 11 points. Paulos Abraham scored both of Hammarby's goals, including one just past the hour mark after Obilor Okeke delivered a low cross. Göteborg pulled one back with nine minutes to play, but Hammarby held on for the win. Now, Hammarby needs to beat AIK and hope Mjällby slips up to extend the title race.

KuPS has taken the lead in the Veikkausliiga standings after a convincing 3-0 victory over Inter Turku at Veritas Stadium. This win marks a significant turnaround, as Inter Turku had been leading the league for most of the season. KuPS, the reigning champions, were able to capitalize on Ilves' loss to SJK, which allowed them to take the top spot.

The match remained goalless at halftime, but KuPS wasted no time in taking the lead after the break. Just two minutes into the second half, Jaakko Oksanen's shot was parried by Eetu Huutanen, and Piotr Parzyszek quickly capitalized on the rebound to score the opening goal. Ten minutes later, Saku Savolainen set up Mohamed Toure to double KuPS' advantage. Agon Sadiku sealed the win with a beautiful finish six minutes from time, beating Huutanen with a delicate chip.

KuPS' win puts them a point clear of Inter Turku, with Ilves still leading the league but with KuPS having played one less match. The top spots are being fiercely contested, and the league is heating up as it enters its final weeks.

KuPS doubled their lead just 10 minutes later when Saku Savolainen set up Mohamed Toure to score, giving the visitors a comfortable 2-0 advantage. This win marks KuPS' third consecutive victory, propelling them to the top of the Championship Group standings.

The scoring was completed six minutes from time when Agon Sadiku beat goalkeeper Huutanen to a loose ball and delicately lofted it into the net, securing a 3-0 win for KuPS. This result puts them a point ahead of Ilves in the standings, while Inter Turku remains two points back, still searching for their next win.

SJK secured a thrilling 2-1 victory over Ilves, snatching the win in the 89th minute. This dramatic turnaround leaves KuPS with a chance to take the top spot, while SJK moves up to fourth place, just five points behind the leaders.

The match began with SJK asserting their dominance, and their efforts paid off in the 15th minute when Anton Popovitch's unfortunate deflection resulted in an own goal, putting SJK ahead 1-0.

Ilves thought they had salvaged a draw when Tatu Miettunen scored an equalizer five minutes from the end. However, their relief was short-lived. In the 89th minute, Olatoundji Tessilimi's exquisite touch created an opportunity for Armaan Wilson, who calmly slotted the ball into the net, securing SJK's second consecutive 2-1 win.

KTP has positioned themselves favorably to secure the Relegation Playoff spot after drawing 1-1 with IFK Mariehamn at home. Jelle van der Heyden's first-half goal gave Mariehamn the lead, but Lucas Rangel's equalizer five minutes into the second half secured a crucial point for KTP. This result puts KTP one point ahead of Haka in the standings, setting up a decisive head-to-head match in two weeks.

In another match, AC Oulu edged closer to safety with a 2-0 win over VPS. Goals from Musa Jatta and Julius Korkko secured Oulu's fourth win in their last five matches, a significant turnaround from their previous 21 matches. Despite the loss, VPS remains at the top of the Relegation Group, albeit solely due to goal difference after two wins and two losses since the league split.
