KuPS edged out Gnistan 1-0 in the Veikkausliiga thanks to a goal inside the opening two minutes. The visitors took the lead early and then protected it for the remainder of the match.
Saku Savolainen put KuPS ahead in the 2nd minute, and that proved to be the only goal of the game. Gnistan could not find a response, while Adeleke Akinyemi, Bob Nii Armah and Jaime Moreno were all booked during a competitive contest.
With no detailed match statistics available, the decisive moment was Savolainen's early strike. It gave KuPS the platform to defend deep and leave with all three points.
