On Tuesday May 17th, Haka hosted SJK in their last match together. Haka and SJK battled to a 1-1 draw in front of just over one thousand. Josepablo Monreal struck first for SJK in the 60th minute from the penalty spot, then Janne-Pekka Laine tied it up for Haka in the 4th minute of the second half’s stoppage time from the penalty spot earning them at least the one point.
Haka is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Lee Erwin and Sarpreet Singh each having 2 goals in their last 5. Daniel Hakans and Josepablo Monreal are the top scorers for SJK in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
