That is the lifeline of all lifelines and exactly what Aberdeen needed.
Their centre-back stepped up and I do not think he will score a better goal than that.

That was Angus MacDonald's first Aberdeen goal.
I'm calling it, he won't score a better one.

Whatever else happens tonight, that Angus MacDonald goal alone will have been worth travelling to Finland for in itself - the definition of a screamer.
It has got the Aberdeen fans singing again. Can it be the catalyst to a turnaround?

You genuinely felt it would take something special or a huge slice of luck to get Aberdeen back in the game.
Thankfully for Angus MacDonald, it's the former.
If anything can bring Aberdeen to life, give them an injection of confidence, it's that.

What a strike that is.
Half volley, difficult surface, clean with the laces. It is postage stamp stuff right into the top bin.
Make sure you see this.
Angus MacDonald
What have I just watched?
That may be the greatest goal ever scored by a centre-half.
Angus MacDonald absolutely leathers one on the half volley from about 30 yards out and nearly bursts the net in the process.
Straight into the top-right corner. Ridiculous.

I feel for Jack Milne a little bit.
He has done well on a number of occasions, but I think he has been left exposed and hung out to dry a little bit by his teammates.

My eyesight isn't great, but it's definitely getting harder to see the lines on the pitch.

For all the praise Aberdeen have rightly received for their European performances this season, this has easily been their poorest showing so far.

Far, far too easy, and the first goal was similar. Two simple passes slice open the Aberdeen defence.
They have to make contact, to engage. Hostikka skips past three players. Far too soft, far too passive. Aberdeen have got what they deserve, they been really poor defensively.
They have a mountain to climb and they only have themselves to blame.

It is great footwork from Hostikka, probably a little bit too easy from an Aberdeen point of view.
It is difficult to argue against the scoreline at this point.
Santeri Hostikka
It's a lovely goal, but the Dons defending...
Hostikka shows great feet to skip away from a challenge before rifling an effort across goal and into the bottom left-corner.
It's so, so passive from Aberdeen though.

From high up in the stand, the artificial pitch with its snowy covering looks awful to play on.
How any of the players are able to keep their feet, let alone control the ball, is beyond me.

Another wide Aberdeen free-kick goes straight into the arms of the goalie.

Anything on target in these conditions is going to cause the goalkeeper problems.
Aberdeen will need to get a shot on target to find that out, Rory.
HJK Helsinki 1-0 Aberdeen
Cynical stuff from Kanellopoulos, who trips Ryan Duncan on the break.
Duk is lining up the free-kick. It's way out.
Nah, over the bar.
Wait...
Is Russell Anderson on the left of that HJK tifo?

Aberdeen need to refocus. They can't keep giving away opportunities.
I always found these types of pitches make it harder to chase a game. If they concede another, it's a real uphill battle.
HJK Helsinki 1-0 Aberdeen
Aberdeen have the chance to pump the ball into the HJK box via a Connor Barron free-kick, but it comes to nothing in the end.
HJK Helsinki 1-0 Aberdeen
Dearie me. Aberdeen are a mess.
A strike from HJK forward Radulovic deflects then hits the right-hand post.
From the resulting corner, the ball is just rolled in for Hostikka to smash one off the bar.
