Helsinki The football club is playing in the finals of the Finnish Cup for the second year in a row. HJK defeated Ilves in the semi-finals at their home stadium on Wednesday with a score of 2–1.
HJK is the reigning Finnish Cup champion.
The opening goal of the staged match was already seen in the third minute, when Liam Moller shot the ball into the net and HJK into a 1–0 lead through the goalkeeper.
After this, there were no more goals in the opening half, but there was drama about it.
The one who got an embarrassing red card for a hand mistake on Saturday Ville Tikkanen did not convince on Wednesday either. Tikkanen tore through Ilves, who was running away Teemu Hytö worthy of a straight red. The red card was Tikkanen’s second in a row.
“Always the same man!”, Ruutu’s narrator barked several times.
The club played underpowered for only a few minutes until Abdoul Bamba drove HJK Mads Borchersia to the feet. The verdict was also a straight red.
Ville Tikkanen’s previous matches have been sad.
On another at halftime, Ilves evened the score with Hytönen’s goal, but made a fatal mistake just a moment later.
Lynx Anton Popovich donated the ball with his weak pass on the border of his own penalty area Alfie Cicalellewho managed to complete HJK’s 2–1 winning goal.
In the final, HJK will face Turku FC Inter, who claimed a 3–2 away victory over Vaasa Palloseura in their own semi-final.
HJK has won the Finnish Cup a total of 15 times, more than any other club. In addition to the championship trophy, the winner of the Finnish Cup secures a place in the Conference League qualifiers for next year.
