Cristian Valencia Cifuentes scored the first goal for SJK in the 80th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Mariehamn was frustrated by SJK’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. SJK ended the match with the shutout victory.

For VPS, their top scorers are Mikko Pitkänen and Tete Yengi, each having 2 goals in their last five matches.
