SaiPa beat Kiekko-Espoo 2-1 in overtime in the Liiga on September 15, 2026. Three goals across four periods, and the winner came after regulation had already failed to separate them.
One Goal in the First Two Periods
The period line, per live hockey results data recorded September 15, 2026, is 0-0, 1-0, 0-1, then 1-0 in overtime.
SaiPa’s opener in the second period was the only goal of the first forty minutes. That is a low-event game by any measure, and it left a one-goal lead doing a lot of work.
Kiekko-Espoo Took It to Overtime
The visitors equalised in the third. It is the most consequential goal of the night by some margin: it wiped out SaiPa’s only lead of regulation and sent the game to an extra period it otherwise never reaches.
SaiPa Won It Anyway
The overtime period finished 1-0 to SaiPa, so the home side got the win despite having had their lead taken off them with a period to play.
Read the four periods in order — 0-0, 1-0, 0-1, 1-0 — and no side ever led by more than one goal at any period break. Two goals for, one against, and a result that took extra time to produce. The 2-1 tells you it was close; the splits tell you it was close the whole way.
