A fountain was set up in Tampere on Tuesday, but it did not see a market party. The Turku Palloseura narrowed the final series of the Finnish Championship League to 1–3 by winning 1–0 in Tappara’s home trough.
The winning goal was born defender Elmeri Erosen stage. The TPS kit got two excellent goal-scoring attempts for a fair exchange, with the first bumping into the back pole when Erone rose from the blue line to the Tappara goal. Another company said the truth when the attacker Aarne Intonen offered Eros a launch site for the middle sector. Eronen slammed the puck into the finish with a wrist shot and it was enough to win.
– It was definitely the most memorable goal of my career, but we are playing with encouragement. It was very important, Eronen told Sport after the match ended.
– We have always had hard credit and faith in what we are doing. Our home audience is also amazing, they bring us insane energy, Eronen praised the atmosphere of almost the whole Turkuhalli.
The third installment of the match proved to be a turning point for a low-key game. TPS came wildly into the trough and sought a winning goal with a lot of intensity. Tappara, who dominated the series, was no longer able to turn the game around after the Turku team took the lead.
Instead, Tappara’s experienced guard got angry. Tapparan played excellently in the previous match on Monday Veli-Matti Savinainen took a silly freeze on the last minute of the game. At the same time, it finally took away Tappara’s chance to make up for it.
The final series will continue on Thursday in Tampere in the fifth final.
– We play for life and death. The season continues, let’s go game one by one. We earned the victory by getting into the third installment, TPS head coach Jussi Ahokas commented on Puheen on the Hockey Tour after the game.
– Two good teams are playing in this series, Tappara is excellent. We have to win in Tampere, that is our only next goal.
– The result is the most important, it was not good today, Tappara’s experienced striker Kristian Kuusela stated in an interview with the Hockey Tour.
You still have to go ahead. Kuusela said that there is only a moment to worry about the loss.
– Profit or loss, five seconds allowed. That’s how we agreed, he said firmly.
Tappara again has the opportunity to cut off the final series and hijack the Canada Cup in the closet on Thursday. There is room for improvement, says Kuusela.
– Tight game ahead, TPS improved today and we couldn’t match. Our turn to improve on Thursday, the experienced Kuusela said.
