HELSINKI (Interstat) — Inter Turku and Seinajoen JK played to a 2-2 draw in a Veikkausliiga match Thursday at Veritas Stadion. The result defied pregame projections that heavily favored the home side.

Seinajoen JK’s Olatoundji Tessilimi, a substitute, opened the scoring in the 43rd minute. Inter Turku’s Joonas Kekarainen answered with a goal in first-half stoppage time. Kevin Nyarko put the visitors ahead again in the 83rd minute, but Florian Krebs equalized for Inter Turku just moments later. The match was influenced by an early red card shown to Inter Turku’s Kouamé Botué in the 17th minute.

Both teams move to 0-0-1 records in the Finnish top flight this season. The final score matched the 2-2 projection from Interstat’s game simulator, despite its ELO system giving Inter Turku a 96.8% chance to win.
