FC jazz 0:2 VJS: Ykkönen Match Result

Match report

Jazz fell 0-2 to VPS in their Ykkönen Group Stage encounter on 19 September 2026, a result that keeps the visitors in sixth place with 37 points while the hosts remain seventh on 36. The match ended with two goals for J. Holopainen in quick succession, and the statistics tell a story of missed opportunities rather than dominance.

By then, Jazz had already surrendered the initiative. Holopainen opened the scoring in the eleventh minute, and the penalty in the fourteenth gave him his second before the quarter-hour mark. The visitors punished a sloppy opening, and the hosts never quite recovered their composure after the double deficit.

There were three yellow cards for Jazz by the end — Lakkamaki at 25, Lemio at 58, and Nuorela at 90+2 — while VPS went the entire match without a booking. The substitutions tell their own tale: three changes for the visitors at 65 minutes, two for the hosts earlier, and one late withdrawal for Holopainen at 88.

And here's the thing about the numbers. Jazz enjoyed 51 per cent possession and registered 68 attacks with five corners, but only one shot found the target from 16 attempts off target. VPS, by contrast, hit 7 of their 23 shots off target and kept the ball in the net twice from fewer attacks overall.

To be fair, this isn't the first time these sides met this season — they drew 1-1 back in August — but the pattern has shifted. VPS now sit three points clear in sixth, while Jazz drop further behind with eight defeats from 24 games. The gap between them is small, but it's growing.
