Due to the unusually hot London weather, I've not got much time this week to do the usual review. Hopefully normal service will resume next week, along with the usual wind and rain etc... I'll upload videos as they become available.
Just a quick point - I appreciate it's weird having week 20, when some teams have played 18 and 19 games. The remaining fixtures from week one will be played on Weds 31st July.
Honka 1-0 KuPS
A 48th minute goal from Rubén Palazuelos sent Honka clear at the top of the table. Utrecht coach Jan Wouters was present in Tapiola, who was he watching? KuPS coach Esa Pekonen described their performance as 'uneven'. Honka have 39 points from 20 games, two clear of HJK. KuPS are seventh, with 25 points from 20 matches.

TPS 2-2 Jaro
TPS went 2-0 up inside an hour, goals from Aleksi Ristola (27') and Petteri Pennanen (59'). But Jaro remembered that they're a good team this year, and a brace from Jonas Emet (61' and 88') gave the visitors a point. TPS remain fifth, with 27 points from 18 games, a GD of +2. Jaro are fourth, 27 points from 19 matches, GD +6.

Lahti 2-1 IFK Mariehamn
Sunday's televised game saw lots of chances, but it was Lahti who scored the vital ones. They took the lead through Vini Dantas (19'), but Mariehamn hit the bar twice through Adlam and Bright. Bright then equalised on 69 minutes, before Hertsi scored a winner (75'). Lahti remain 11th, with 21pts from 19 games, but are only one point behind Inter. IFK Mariehamn are 8th, with 25 points from 20 matches.

VPS 4-1 MYPA
Friday night in Vaasa looked like being a drama - MYPA scored in the first half, totally against the run of play, the goal from Olajide Williams (19'). But VPS fought back in the second half, goals from Koskimaa (65'), Kerr (75') and two from captain Sebastian Strandvall (84 and 90') meant VPS remain on the podium. They are third, with 32 points from 19 matches. MYPA are sixth, 26 points from 19 games.

JJK 2-0 Inter
It's been a shocking 2013 for both clubs. But at least JJK had a good Sunday - a penalty from Poutiainen (48') and a goal from substitute Hilska (88') mean JJK remain in touch with Lahti, five points behind Inter and with a game in hand. Inter have won one league match in ten, and have only scored three goals. JJK are bottom, but have 17 points from 19 games. Inter are tenth, with 22 points from 20 matches.

RoPS 0-0 HJK
RoPS had kept clean sheets in 6 of their last 8 home league games. They made it 7 games with a resolute display, helped by a tepid HJK who had one eye on Tuesday's Champions League match against Kalju in Estonia. RoPS are ninth, with 23 points from 20 games. HJK drop to second, 37 points from 19 games, two points behind Honka.
