AC Oulu secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over FF Jaro in their Veikkausliiga encounter on 22 August 2026. A second-half strike from N. Jokelainen proved to be the difference between the two sides in a closely contested battle.
Both sides lined up in identical 4-2-3-1 formations, with Jens Karlsson in charge of the hosts and Mikko Isokangas guiding the visitors. The opening 45 minutes saw plenty of competitive spirit but no goals, as referee Joni Hyytia distributed yellow cards to AC Oulu's M. Arsalo in the ninth minute and FF Jaro's A. Vidjeskog late in the half.
The decisive moment arrived after a wave of tactical changes past the hour mark. Shortly after FF Jaro's M. Ogungbaro was cautioned in the 71st minute, Jokelainen broke the deadlock with a 72nd-minute goal to put AC Oulu in front.
FF Jaro pushed for an equaliser in the closing stages, but AC Oulu defended their advantage effectively, navigating a late booking for L. Ghezali to take all three points.
