FC Haka went to the top of the Finnish Veikkausliga today with a 4-0 win against AC Allianssi.
Wrong end
The visitors, who remain fourth in the table, got off to the worst possible start when Mika Pulkkinen put through his own net after just three minutes as he attempted to clear Oleg Ivanovs's corner.
Two for Kovacs
Valeri Popovitch doubled Haka's advantage 12 minutes before the break, converting Juuso Kangaskorpi's through-ball and Haka's victory was confirmed with two second-half goals from Peter Kovacs.
