Two penalties gave FC Jazz a 2-2 draw at home against KuPS Kuopio on Monday night.
Brazilian double
Brazilian striker Rodrigo was on target from the spot twice in an action-packed first half to cancel out goals from Janne Savolainen and Peter Sampo.
Early goal for KuPS
Savolainen had given the visitors the lead at the Porin stadium after just eight minutes but the Brazilian kept his nerve to finish from the penalty spot after 19 minutes.
Quick reply
KuPS had the lead again three minutes from half-time when Sampo finished, but this time the home side had to wait just two minutes to level the scores as Rodrigo got a second chance to prove his mastery of the penalty kick.
