It's 'winner takes all' in Rauma, with Lukko and TPS tied going in to tonight's second leg. Two late goals in last week's match saw TPS draw level with their opponents, although Lukko will not be forgetting that the were 3-1 up in that game and seemingly in control before the home side's fightback.
"We were leading 3–1 in the end and then TPS got the score even," Lukko assistant coach Juho Vuori summed up last week's game. "Lately we have been having trouble scoring but in this game we were able to get to the net ato put the puck in so in that sense it was a good performance – we just need to keep in mind that this game is the deciding one."
