Sadly, his presence on the field was not sufficient to shake SJK out of its current early-season slump. Home team FC Lahti won the match, 1-0.

SJK has taken just one point from its last four league games and has dropped to 10th in the 12-team Finnish top flight. It is still early in the season: SJK is only six points short of table-topping HJK, but it is a disappointing start for a team with title ambitions.

SJK next plays on May 12 against bottom club JJK.
