Sarnians 3 – 2 Helsinki
The game can be a cruel cruel game sometimes. It all started so well, weather the first 10 mins, stifle the home ground, get the first goal. Well, the first one was disallowed for offside but Warwick then found Prochazka who put Helsinki ahead on 14 minutes. Consolidate, hold the lead for a while and maybe find a second? Sadly, despite two more Helsinki attacks, Sarnians quickly equalised with Kiss scoring and then Domino adding a second to put Sarnians 2 – 1 up on 26 mins. But that point we count 2 shots to Sarnians (both scored) and Helsinki were up to 7 shots (1 goal). Did the heads drop? Not one bit! Helsinki poured forward a had numerous more attacks, but Sarnians grew in confidence too. It was a hammer blow when Sarnians got a third after half time, 3 – 1. From there Helsinki huffed and puffed and got a second through Dyachenko on 77 mins but couldn’t quite blow Sarnians house down. When all was said and done they had gone away to the league leaders, out shot them 33 shots to 14, even 18 to 9 on target but lady luck just didn’t smile on them that day. They fall three points behind Sarnians with Kyushu next up. Eeek.
