Spectators: 7550 (Terracing: 5664, Seating: 1736, VIP seats: 150) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Bert Uluots started the match with the kick off. 4 minutes into the match, FC LÕVI's Ander Kaal sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Albert Aruväli narrowly saved just below the crossbar. In the 10th minute Ago Isa shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Aigar Hiiob saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Priipalu Konnad's Albert Aruväli proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 17th minute of the match, managed to save Priipalu Konnad from getting a goal against them. In the 24th minute, Rene Kroon hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. The audience thought a goal was coming when Alo Väärtnõu got free with Albert Aruväli in the 27th minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Albert Aruväli made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ander Kaal in the 30th minute of play. In the 33rd minute, FC LÕVI's Ander Kaal ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Albert Aruväli. Albert Aruväli yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 1-0. Ago Isa fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 38th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aigar Hiiob having to interfere. After a defensive mix-up in Priipalu Konnad's zone, Ander Kaal stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Albert Aruväli came out of the goal and Ander Kaal tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Bert Uluots fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 45th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Aigar Hiiob having to interfere. If Ander Kaal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Ander Kaal stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.

In the 60th minute, Lennart Varju hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Aigar Hiiob was out of position in the 67 minute of play, and Bert Uluots capitalized on the mistake with a soft shot into the goal. Bert Uluots really showed his touch with that goal: 1-1. Ander Kaal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 77th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Alo Väärtnõu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 79th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ander Kaal received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 84th minute. Albert Aruväli tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Albert Aruväli took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Alo Väärtnõu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 94 minutes had been played when some careless play by Priipalu Konnad's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Riivo Mänd was slow to take the kick. During this time FC LÕVI's players had a chance to rest. Riivo Mänd made a great header on FC LÕVI's corner, it was just that Priipalu Konnad's Albert Aruväli managed to reach the ball for a save. 97 minutes into the match, Priipalu Konnad's goal looked a bit too open when Alo Väärtnõu came free, but Albert Aruväli reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.
