Peimari Win In Suomen Cup Second Round
Peimari United Were 3-1 Victors Over ÅIFK In The Suomen Cup Second Round
27/04/2019
Peimari United made an incredible competition start to their Suomen Cup campaign by defeating ÅIFK 3-1 at HakkisPaana in the Second Round (Last 16). The hosts, managed by former international player Kalle Koskinen, were favourites in the fixture against Kolmonen side ÅIFK and lived up to expectations with a convincing victory.
Peimari United qualified for the Second Round of the Suomen Cup by reaching the final of the Kakkonen Cup, which they will play in next month, and were looking forward to continue their 100% record, albeit having only played cup fixtures, under Kalle Koskinen this season.
Under Kalle Koskinen, Peimari United had begun to play a high-tempo free-flowing football style of game, and they dominated the game from the very get-go. Sasha Popovitch was playing as a roaming playmaker in the middle of the pitch for Peimari United and he opened the scoring for the hosts in some style. Having won possession back after some hard-worked pressing, Popovitch started and finished a counter attack as he slammed home a low curling effort from twenty-five yards out.
The hosts almost doubled their lead just minutes later, only to be denied by the woodwork. Popovitch instigated another fast-moving counter attack, which saw winger-turn-right back Bruno Rodrigues pick out Vihervirta on the edge of the box with a low cross, with the latter slamming a first-time half-volley firmly off the cross bar.
The home side doubled their lead early in the second half following some incredible build-up play. Peimari moved the ball from side-to-die before delicately piercing the back line of their opponents, with Bruno Rodrigues delivering a pinpoint cross for the onrushing Sjöroos to head beyond the helpless goalkeeper. It was a move made in heaven.
Peimari United should have wrapped the game up by the hour mark with a number of chances being created from open play and set-piece situations. However, Peimari's lack of a clinical touch was punished by the visitors as a speculative long ball was latched onto by Camara, who finished high into the roof of the net to halve the deficit, and to worry the hosts.
However, Jussila was sent off for the visitors with a minute to go before Riku Sjöroos restored Peimari's two goal lead as he calmly slotted home a first-time effort from Fisnik Gerxhaliu's cut back. Game over.

Peimari United Dominated The Game Even More Than The Stats Suggested
Kalle Koskinen (Peimari United):
"I'm very happy with the result. We were made to work hard at times and we had to really fight for the right outcome. We have played much better this season but everything is a learning curve for us right now and we just want to continue to progress.
We are excited to be able to play in the quarter finals. We will have the opportunity to play against some of the best teams in the country and to chase our aspirations of competing in the biggest games. We can be proud of what we have achieved today but we need to quickly refocus and prepare for our next challenge. There's no time for celebrating now."
