Week 2 brings us a match on Oct 2nd, where SJK and Haka will play a match in Valkeakoski in a meeting of these two evenly matched Veikkausliiga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 8 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. In their last match, Haka recorded a 1-0 shutout win against Inter Turku. Lee Erwin struck first for Haka in the 69th minute on a feed from Sarpreet Singh, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Inter Turku was frustrated by Haka’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Haka ended the match with the shutout victory. Haka is on a hot streak lately, with only 2 loss in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 5th placed SJK, recorded a 3-1 win against KuPS. Paulo Ricardo struck first for SJK on an own goal in the 7th minute, then Jake Jervis added another in the 36th minute. With 18 points in their last 10 matches SJK should be reasonably happy with their performance.
