Rapid Vienna - HJK 3-3 FT! HJK gets Euro group stage first time in 16 years for Finnish team They were already losing 2-0 but HJK got 3 goals. Rapid did 3-3 goal in 94th minute but it didn't matter because HJK won first game 2-1.
Have you heard about Forssell transfer yet? It came out of the blue for me. Good player (did 17 goals Premier league goals in one season) but he's became slow after his knee injuries and didn't meet the expectations he had (he was biggest football talent Finland ever had). He's still good finisher though
E: Transfer wouldn't be that big thing but it's just weird that 33yo finnish player leaves to bigger club because he hasn't got playing time in his own club
Yes, he has born there but Finnish parents and he has lived most of his life in Finland so definitely not German
HJK (Finnish club) just won Torino in Europa league group stage with 2-1 results! 16 years since they played last time in Euro group stage and now they got their first victory and points! Not bad result with only 6 million budget which over 6 times smaller compared to other teams in their group (sadly Finland spend all their money to ice hockey...).
Finnish club HJK just got two new players and they are now seriously trying to get Europa League (group stage) again. First player is 27yo Japanese striker Mike Havenaar, 17 apps for Japan national team and experience from Liga BBVA, Eredivisie and Japanese league.
Their second new player is goalkeeper Daniel Örlund who has played 123 games in AIK and 119 in Rosenborg. I have to say I'm excited, those are really big names for Finnish club!
E: Havenaar started his first 4 games in Spain for Cordoba this season, against Real Madrid, Celta Vigo, Almeria and Sevilla
