An excellent start to Koskinen's tenure at the club. A cup final against his former employers - HJK Helsinki - will be a game to remember, regardless of the result.

Kalle Koskinen:
"It is a tough result to take. Losing in a final is never a nice feeling as we felt we deserved a reward for our performances throughout the competition. We were hoping to lift our second trophy of the season but HJK, to their credit, played incredibly well to lift the trophy. They are deserved winners. They played a tremendous performance today and their players can be proud of what they achieved.
Our first half performance was solid and reliable in defence but we were unable to create the chances we needed to win the game. We lacked a cutting edge today and it cost us in the second half as HJK were able to create chances and then take them. It is a tough lesson for us but one we need to learn. We can take a lot of positives from today but it is important that we work on our game and continue to improve."
Kalle Koskinen:
"Following a promising start to the season, which included lifting the Kakkonen Cup, we headed into June with confidence flowing and a Suomen Cup final to look forward to. We already had plenty to celebrate but we had plenty yet to fight for."
