assist.<\/p>\n<p>KTP halved the deficit shortly after the restart, with Matias Paavola slotting home from an Assane Seck pass in the 61st minute. <\/p>\n<p>However, VPS\u2019s disciplined defending and organisation ensured they protected their lead through the closing stages to seal all three points.<\/p>\n<p>The win strengthens VPS\u2019s position in the Relegation Group and offers a timely boost ahead of their remaining fixtures. <\/p>\n<p>For Ahiabu, the goal underlines his growing influence in midfield and his ability to deliver in key moments for the Vaasa club.<\/p>\n<p>With form like this, Ahiabu is poised to remain a central figure in VPS\u2019s push to consolidate their top-flight status.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n        <div class=\"booster-block booster-reactions-block\">\n
