Jippo and PK-35 played out a 0-0 draw in the Ykkösliiga Group Stage on 26 September 2026. Neither side managed to find the back of the net despite both creating enough to suggest they could have. The result keeps the gap between them at eight points in the table.
The first half passed without incident until Forsman picked up a yellow card on the hour. By then the match had settled into a rhythm neither team wanted to break. Jippo held 61 per cent of possession but could not turn it into clear chances.
And here's the thing — PK-35 had less of the ball but did not look like they were going to simply give up. They absorbed pressure and waited for moments to exploit. The hosts had seven corners to their guests' four, which tells you something about territorial dominance, though not necessarily about penetration.
Substitutions came thick and fast in the second half. Tolonen and Sadik went on together at 65 minutes, followed by Tarvonen at 73. Then Pikkuhookana and Nakanishi appeared side by side at 79, with Honkola adding his name to the list at 85. The final change brought on Pitkala as the clock hit 90, along with a second yellow card for the visitors.
To be fair, the statistics do not lie about who controlled territory. Jippo registered 86 attacks against 83, but accuracy tells a different story — three shots on target from eleven attempts, compared to PK-35's two from eight. Both sides missed more than they hit, and that is why the score remained level.
The result leaves Jippo fourth on 40 points from 24 games, three behind PK-35 who sit second with 48 points. Both sides have played the same number of matches, so there is still work to do before either side can breathe easy. Recent form has been patchy for both — Jippo lost 1-0 away to MP last time out, while PK-35 suffered a heavier 3-0 defeat to KuPS on the same date.
