Helsinki Football Club had to settle for a draw as a guest of AC Oulu in the Veikkausliiga.
HJK took a 1–0 lead in the match in the 14th minute of the game, when Bojan Radulović managed to score from a penalty kick.
However, Oulu did not agree to succumb to defeat, but pushed to level in extra time. The actual game time had already expired when Michael Lopez saved a point for Oulu.
Rasmus Karjalainen snatched the ball from a HJK player near the penalty area, passed it to Lopez, who immediately continued on his heels to the 18-year-old Otso Liimata.
Liimatta returned the ball to Lopez at the point where the Argentinian made no mistake.
