TPS Turku defeated Jokerit 4-2 in a club friendly match on 25 August 2026. The game took place in Turku at 15:30 local time. The hosts secured the result against a side that had been in mixed form of late.
Jokerit arrived with some momentum. They had beaten Tappara 4-3 and Saipa 7-1 in the previous week. A 3-1 win over Mikkelin Jukurit followed before a 0-2 defeat to Hämeenlinna. The visitors also lost 0-2 to Vasa on the same day they played their first match.
TPS Turku's recent record told a different story. They beat Lukko 3-2 on 14 August and 2-1 on 7 August. There was also a 3-2 victory over Jokerit on 7 August. A 0-2 loss to Vasa and a 2-5 defeat to Ässät from March completed their runs.
The 4-2 scoreline reflected a straightforward afternoon. The hosts outscored their opponents across the match. Jokerit had shown they could find the net, as their 7-1 result suggested, but TPS Turku managed to contain them.
Both teams used this fixture to assess their options ahead of the new season. The result means TPS Turku go forward with confidence after a competitive showing. Jokerit will need to address the defensive issues that cost them against Hämeenlinna and Vasa.
