According to Koskimiehi, after the start, the game in Kauhajoki was sticky.

According to Toiviainen, Vilppa’s championship is still possible.
– Now we have our backs to the wall. There is nothing more to lose. Let’s see how the team and coaching take it. They were this much better. We need to be equally better on Wednesday.
