Football | Gnistan had to settle for one point – FC Lahti avoided a horror scenario

Gnistan continued the series of home matches at the Töölö football stadium, which not many residents of the capital had found in the stands. The persistent group of supporters from Lahti instead made a fuss about all the money.

The people from Lahti had a stake in the game, as the team is trying to keep itself dry in the relegation battle. Oulunkylä’s “Kipinä” has already secured its place in the Euro final tournament played after the season, the winner of which gets a place in the Conference League qualification.

The guests the level of motivation was also visible on the field, as Gnistan was buzzing for a long time with FCL, who played with a winning attack. Pablo Andrade gave Lahti the lead in the 18th minute when his shot deflected off the Gnistan defender Saku Heiskanen from the leg.

The equalizer for the yellow shirts came in the 37th minute. Vertti Hänninen shot a loose ball into the net from a close range, and not the young goalkeeper from Lahti At Osku Maukonen there were opportunities to catch up.

I’m taking a break after Gnistan received shock treatment when the second knee sprained Samuel Pasanen took the visitors to a 2–1 lead. The hit was the 18-year-old midfielder’s third of the season. Lahti had a great opportunity to run away with two goals, but Gnistan’s veskar AJ Marcucci saved from the front corner Luke Ivanovic I bet.

The hosts equalized in the 63rd minute. As Gnistan’s conductor, he is again confused Roman Eremenko shocked the people of Lahti with his heel pass, after which Henrik Ölander focused on the goal where Joakim Latonen shot the ball into the wigs of the net. The goal was Latonen’s eighth hit of the season.

Either way the team had chances to score in the final moments of the match, but in the end the score was 2–2. Lahti still didn’t win away from home this season. The points distribution means that Lahti tied with IFK Mariehamn and practically ensured that direct relegation was avoided. IFK Mariehamn and Inter meet on Sunday in Åland.

The last round of the upper and lower final series of the Veikkausliiga will be played after the international break on October 19.
