Match report
Yokerit fell to an emphatic 0-6 defeat against Tappara in Liiiga on Saturday. The away side made no mistakes from the opening whistle, and the hosts never recovered. It was a statement win for the visitors.
The result leaves Yokerit rooted to the bottom of the table, still without a point after five games. Tappara move up to twelfth, though their record remains modest with two wins and two losses. The gap between them is now unbridgeable.
We had backed Tappara before the match, and the confidence was high. Nine out of ten times we gave them the edge, and Saturday confirmed it. They took their chances and never looked back.
Yokerit's recent run has been nothing short of disastrous. They have lost five straight, scoring just twelve goals and conceding thirty-one. The form has been consistent in the worst way. Tappara, by contrast, have shown flashes of quality with victories over Pelicans and Växjö Lakers.
At the end of the day, the scoreline tells the whole story. Yokerit now face a difficult task to change their fortunes, and Tappara have earned some momentum. The history between them adds an edge, but today there was no edge at all.
