In a closely contested match, HJK Helsinki (Wom) edged Helsingin Palloseura (Wom) by 1-0 displaying a performance that demonstrated the mettle of their attacking prowess with the goal coming early in the first half at 3 minutes 2 seconds.

Although Helsingin Palloseura couldn't notch up any goals, the team posed a reasonable threat, as evidenced by the three corner kicks they won compared to the five corners awarded to HJK Helsinki. As the number of corners is often an indirect indicator of teams applying forward pressure, it's reasonable to conclude that there was no lack of attempts made by Helsingin Palloseura to get back into the game.

However, the HJK Helsinki defence stood strong and their neat performance is worthy of note. The lack of direct goals against them indicates an effective defence, supported by an alert and resilient goalkeeper.

Both teams seemed to have an equal level of aggression as reflected by an equal number of yellow card bookings (2 each). Though the discipline on the pitch could have been better, these fouls could be interpreted as the measure of how fiercely competitive the game was. The second bookings for both teams came at crucial times in the second half, which may have affected the intensity and strategy of the game.

There were no red cards in the match, which is a positive performance indicator in regard to the teams' ability to manage their aggression and stay within the rules while still exerting dominant pressures.

Finally, it is important to mention that no data on shots on target, off-target, goalie saves or assists, means it is not possible to draw conclusions on these aspects. However, the strategies and performances understood from available data point to a match where HJK Helsinki managed to keep their lead, showing effective defensive resilience, even under pressure.

In summary, the match saw a strong performance from HJK Helsinki. Their early goal set the pace, and their ability to protect this lead through a combination of successful offense and steadfast defense saw them emerge victoriously.
