Klubi 04 Helsinki 0–1 PK-35 Vantaa
Finnish Ykkösliiga | 28 May 2026

Match Overview

PK-35 Vantaa edged a tight contest away to Klubi 04 Helsinki, winning 1–0 to move into the upper half of the Ykkösliiga standings. A solitary first‑half goal was enough to decide a match short on clear chances but high on intensity.

Key Moment

The decisive moment arrived in the 33rd minute. A swift move down the left flank saw full‑back Eemeli Hämäläinen whip a cross to the far post, where Joonas Lautamaja arrived unmarked to steer a first‑time volley into the net. The goal was PK‑35 Vantaa’s only shot on target in the entire first half, but it proved decisive.

Tactical Story

Klubi 04, the reserve side of HJK Helsinki, attempted to dominate possession with a patient 4‑3‑3 build‑up, but PK‑35 sat deep in a compact 5‑3‑2, inviting crosses and relying on quick counters. The strategy worked: Klubi 04 had 62% of the ball but created only one big chance, which was saved by visiting goalkeeper Niko Kytölä. PK‑35 were happy to defend deep and hit on the break, and they almost doubled their lead late on through a long‑range effort that struck the post.

Standout Players

• Niko Kytölä (PK‑35 Vantaa): Made four saves, including a crucial one‑on‑one stop in the 78th minute to preserve the lead.
• Joonas Lautamaja (PK‑35 Vantaa): Scored the winner and worked tirelessly as a lone striker, holding up play and drawing fouls.

Table Impact

PK‑35 Vantaa move up to fifth place, now within three points of the promotion play‑off positions. Klubi 04 drop to ninth, only two points above the relegation zone, and have now lost three of their last four home matches.
