HJK made Champions League history trashing Bangor City 13-0 on aggregate in the
second round of the competition. Both the second leg 10-0 victory at home and aggregate result are
the biggest goal-fests ever celebrated in the Champions League. The result is a remarkable
achievement in its own right, especially by a team from Finland, but, in truth, Bangor never
represented a real test for HJK.
HJK host Jaro at the Sonera Stadium tonight at 6:30pm. The home side have recorded three
straight victories (KuPS (H), Inter (H), VPS (A)) after the opening day defeat against TPS in Turku
and sit second in the table, a point behind JJK. Jaro have also recovered from their dodgy start to
the season, that saw them get beaten by biggest relegation favourites RoPS (A) and Haka (H), by
taking all three points at TPS and drawing at home to KuPS.
