In the women’s football league, there was a huge surprise when Turku Palloseura claimed victory over league leader Helsinki Football Club with a score of 3–0.
HJK controlled the beginning sovereignly, but then we saw a real goal. TPS Emma Santamäki26, drove the ball into HJK’s net clearly from behind the center line, from about 60 meters.
– What a goal! First the break and then the game eye, which is perfect. He’s right-footed, but he can also start from the vars, in ‘s commentary Matti Härkönen amazed.
– There is no luck at all, but complete skill.
Härkönen first thought the hit was the best of the season, but then went even further.
– I would say that this is perhaps not only the best goal of this season, but maybe the best goal in the history of the National League.
– Because of this, it is also considered that there are such dumb performances in futsal, the expert of the team Jonne Kunnas.
During the break of the match, Kunnas was asked if the hit was the best in history. According to the municipality, it at least competes for those places.
– An incredible performance. Especially what happened before the shot. Santamäki saw that Ria to Karjalainen a pass is coming, picked up the exploit from the front and immediately went forward. There was also the idea that you can shoot from quite a distance knowing that HJK wants to play with a tall goalkeeper, Kunnas beamed.
– I’m also in a great mood if “Masakin” is in that newsroom.
‘s second expert Hanna Ruohomaa laughingly recalled the times when he played together with Santamäki in TPS. Santamäki could try long shots too eagerly, which made his teammates wonder if he would rather pass.
More great hits
HJK controlled the game sovereignly in the second period as well. Although there were plenty of top goalscoring opportunities and HJK got the ball to the goal line in the match, TPS’s goalkeeper remained Inkeri Niemen draw like a miracle.
TPS couldn’t break HJK’s defensive line, but still continued to score great goals. They succeeded in scoring in the second half Vivii Ollonqvist and Netta Hanhimäki. Both hit from about 25 meters.
Kunnas’s “what a shot!” – exclamation aptly summed up Turku people’s robbery trip to Töölö.
The runner-up TPS took their third win. It continues in the series at number seven.
The National League has ten teams that play a double regular season. After that, the best six advance to the upper and the four weakest to the lower final series.
Santamäki, who scored a wonderful opening goal, assured after the match that TPS believed in its chances of scoring, if it can attack HJK’s strengths. Still, the victory and dazzling hits made Santamäki’s head spin.
– An incredible feeling. We don’t usually get such shot goals, now there were three of them, Santamäki updated.
Santamäki also opened his 1–0 goal. He had a similar situation in the match before.
– I regretted that it was a joke, why didn’t I pull, when I knew that the goalkeeper was quite high. Then when the second situation came, I thought I had to try.
