Mariehamn themselves relied on a late show, with a 2-2 draw away to Honka. An own goal from Sampo Koskinen saved them a point, as they went deep into injury time losing 2-1. The fact that Honka themselves remain only nine points off the top shows how close things are, and at the moment every point is vital.

Inter Turku are now without a win in five games, being on the wrong end of a seven goal thriller in Lahti. VPS are two points behind in fourth after a 2-0 victory over hapless JJK, who've lost five in a row. Haka pulled themselves further from danger with a 1-0 win over TPS, a late goal from Jarno Mattila claiming the points.
The final game was a basement battle between KuPS and Jaro. The Kuopio side were bottom, and trying to prepare for their upcoming Europa League qualifier with Llanelli of Wales (first leg on Thursday). A 60th minute goal from Miikka Ilo was the decider, and KuPS are now off the bottom, with Jaro taking their place. Jaro do have a game in hand on KuPS, but JJK are now being sucked into the battle.
