HJK completes the amazing turnaround while the Ilves fall and SJK stops

HJK managed an incredible return to their first equality of Round of Qualification of the UEFA Conference League (UECL) against NSI Runavik of the Faroe Islands, destroying its 4-0 deficit of the first stage before winning 5-0 after an additional time for an aggregation success of 5-4. Ilves obtained a relentless draw against Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Europa League, but that could not prevent a unilateral global defeat, while SJK was beaten 2-0 by Klaksvik while they were eliminated from the UECL.

HJK was completely outclassed in the first leg a week ago, but their hopes of at least the assembly of a response had a boost when Fabian Ness of Runavik was shown a right red box after 15 minutes.

It only took the local team for three minutes to ensure that the advantage of the man counts, when Lucas Lingman wrapped the ball in the corner of more than 25 meters.

The Helsinki side was made to wait for the first stadiums of the second half to withdraw another goal – This time, Lingman was the supplier because his corner had returned home by the head of Alex Ring.

The podium of the gallery that The Bolt Arena hoped to have been installed at 11 minutes of time, while after the patient accumulation game, Santeri Hostikka tried his chance from outside the region.

What should have been a saved routine was overthrown by Kristian Joensen in the goal of Runavik, and the ball has nestled in the lower corner for 3-0 The night and 3-4 on aggregate. However, it seemed that the Finnish team was going to intervene just as an incredible return.

It was until the 94th minute – after Ring’s Corner was erased towards him, his second attempt to select a teammate turned out to be more successful, finding Giorgos Antzoulas who planted his head at the back of the net while the pandemonium followed all around him.

An overall 4-4 score sent the link to equality, and with all the momentum behind them, HJK went ahead for the first time just three minutes from the second in Hostikka’s game, this time by gathering a free kick beyond Joensen and in the upper corner.

HJK had six efforts on the target in the additional 30 minutes only against the opponents who were running on empty, but the Hostikka strike was sufficient to fill a remarkable 5-0 victory overnight and a 5-4 victory over aggregate.

In the second qualification round, HJK will face Arda Bulgarian Arda.

There would be no miracle return for Ilves during the first round of qualification of the UEFA Europa (UEL) league, but they at least restored pride by drawing 0-0 with Shakhtar Donetsk, who prevailed 6-0 on aggregate after their impressive first stage.

Shakhtar arrived in Tampere seeking to increase their advance – Pedrinho had a stolen effort just very early, before Newerton returned a strike back from the post.

There was more than the same thing at the start of the second half, when Lassana Traore might have to find the target, Newerton was refused after a block on the line in a surfacle penalty surface.

In total, the Ukrainian part succeeded in 17 shots for the two in 90 minutes, but the lynx had done enough to save their face while their UEL campaign ended, but they will stay in Europe for 2025/26, falling to UECL, where they will face Az Alkmaar in the second qualification round.

Like HJK, SJK also needed a return against the Faroeais opposition in the UECL, but after a 2-1 defeat at home against Klaksvik last week, they were beaten at 1-0 in the second stage of this evening.

SJK forced a few efforts to the point in the first 45 minutes, but could not force them at home, and this lack of peak was punished just after the hours when Arni Frederiksberg put Klaksvik forward.

The match and the tie were put in bed 12 minutes later, when Frederiksberg transformed the supplier of Pall Klettskard, and the 35-year-old was 2-0 per night and 4-1 on aggregate.
