==History== |
|||
==Season to season== |
|||
In 2009 EsPa finished in 4th position in Section 2 of the [[Kolmonen 2009 League Tables#Section 2|Kolmonen]] and the next season finished in second place in Section 1 (Lohko 1) of the [[Kolmonen#Section 1|Kolmonen]] administered by the Uusimaa SPL, the fourth highest tier in the [[Finnish football league system|Finnish football system]]. |
|||
The 2011 season proved to be the best in EsPa's history. The first team secured promoted to the [[Kakkonen]] after finishing in second place of the [[Kolmonen#Section 2|Kolmonen]]. After finishing second, EsPa were included in the promotion play-offs as the best second placed team of all seven sections of Finland. EsPa were paired with [[Pallokerho Keski-Uusimaa]]. The first leg took place in Matinkylä with EsPa winning 3–1. The second leg proved to be a dramatic affair with EsPa controversially being reduced to ten men after five minutes. The match eventually ended 2–1 in PKKU's favour, however EsPa progressed, winning 4–3 on aggregate. |
|||
In the same season, EsPa's second team, in their first season, were crowned champions of the 6th Division section 2 and played in the 5th Division during 2012. |
|||
In 2012, EsPa started its first-ever season in [[Kakkonen]] (Finnish 3rd Tier) with general opinion being that they were unlikely to survive in what was thought to be the toughest [[Kakkonen]] section, Eteläinen (Southern) without signing a significant number of new players. However, after the first ten games Yellow-Greens had 16 points. In these matches EsPa were able to regularly field their best team, but then in mid season the club's best forward pairing, Masar Ömer and Joonas Vilkki, were injured. Ömer was out rest of the season, though Vilkki was able to return for last couple of games. Season 2012 culminated in the last two home games. |
|||
First a 2–0 win from local competitor [[FC Espoo]], in a game where EsPa's goalkeeper Törnqvist produced a large number of saves, including a penalty kick. This made the crucial three-point difference in EsPa's benefit between these two teams fighting head to head against relegation. If these teams would end in same points, the goal difference would determine relegating team. |
|||
The last game of the season against section winner [[ÅIFK]] would set the series level for next season. With win or draw EsPa was going to continue on Kakkonen. If they lost the game, FC Espoo's last game against [[GrIFK]] would determine which team, EsPa or FC Espoo, would remain in the division. In spite of the pressure EsPa won 2–0, with Törnqvist again saving a penalty kick. With this win EsPa ensured that they keep on playing in Kakkonen also in season 2013. |

==2012 season== |
|||
EsPa started its first-ever season in [[Kakkonen]] (Finnish 3rd Tier) with clear status, no-one outside the team believed their chance of survive in the toughest [[Kakkonen]] section, Eteläinen (Southern). Public opinion was that their only hope was to sign up a lot of new player contracts. |
|||
Within the team, the chance to succeed was seen in another way. Their way to rise above criticism was to do things with higher quality and invest in team-spirit. This non-Finnish way of thinking resulted a surprise to almost all: After first ten games Yellow-Greens had 16 points in their pocket. |
|||
In these rounds EsPa was playing with almost optimum player setup, but then in mid season the problems started when Eteläinen section's best striker pair, Masar Ömer and Joonas Vilkki, was injured. Ömer was out rest of the season, Vilkki was back to the field for last couple of games. This, combined with other key player absences, pointed out on harsh way how narrow the player material was in this rock hard section. |
|||
Season 2012 culminated in the last two home games: |
|||
First a 2–0 win from local competitor [[FC Espoo]], in a game where EsPa's goalkeeper Törnqvist glued everything, including a penalty kick. This made the crucial three point difference in EsPa's benefit between these two teams fighting head to head against relegation. If these teams would end in same points, the goal difference would determine relegating team. |
|||
The last game of the season against section winner [[ÅIFK]] would set the series level for next season. With win or draw EsPa was going to continue on Kakkonen. If losing the game, FC Espoo's last game against [[GrIFK]] would determine which team, EsPa or FC Espoo; will continue in this level. In spite of the pressure EsPa won 2–0, with GK Törnqvist handling again penalty kick. |
|||
With this win EsPa ensured that they keep on playing in Kakkonen also in season 2013. |
|||
==2011 season== |
|||
The 2011 season proved to be the best in '''EsPa Men's Team's''' history. The first team secured promoted to the [[Kakkonen]] after finishing in second place of the [[Kolmonen#Section_2|Kolmonen]]. After finishing second, EsPa were included in the promotion play-offs as the best second placed team of all seven sections of Finland. EsPa were paired with [[Pallokerho Keski-Uusimaa]].

EsPa's second team, in their first season, were crowned champions of the 6th Division section 2 and will play in the 5th Division during 2012. |

==2010 season== |

'''EsPa Men's Team''' finished in second place in Section 1 (Lohko 1) of the [[Kolmonen#Section_1|Kolmonen]] administered by the Uusimaa SPL.

History
[edit]In 2009 EsPa finished in 4th position in Section 2 of the Kolmonen and the next season finished in second place in Section 1 (Lohko 1) of the Kolmonen administered by the Uusimaa SPL, the fourth highest tier in the Finnish football system.
The 2011 season proved to be the best in EsPa's history. The first team secured promoted to the Kakkonen after finishing in second place of the Kolmonen. After finishing second, EsPa were included in the promotion play-offs as the best second placed team of all seven sections of Finland. EsPa were paired with Pallokerho Keski-Uusimaa. The first leg took place in Matinkylä with EsPa winning 3–1. The second leg proved to be a dramatic affair with EsPa controversially being reduced to ten men after five minutes. The match eventually ended 2–1 in PKKU's favour, however EsPa progressed, winning 4–3 on aggregate.
In the same season, EsPa's second team, in their first season, were crowned champions of the 6th Division section 2 and played in the 5th Division during 2012.
In 2012, EsPa started its first-ever season in Kakkonen (Finnish 3rd Tier) with general opinion being that they were unlikely to survive in what was thought to be the toughest Kakkonen section, Eteläinen (Southern) without signing a significant number of new players. However, after the first ten games Yellow-Greens had 16 points.

Ömer was out rest of the season, though Vilkki was able to return for last couple of games. Season 2012 culminated in the last two home games.
First a 2–0 win from local competitor FC Espoo, in a game where EsPa's goalkeeper Törnqvist produced a large number of saves, including a penalty kick. This made the crucial three-point difference in EsPa's benefit between these two teams fighting head to head against relegation.
