Spectators: 174 (Terracing: 131, Seating: 40, VIP seats: 3) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ando Pahasoo made the kick off which started today's match. In the 3rd minute Roland Kobakäpp shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Meelis Aalto saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. With an all-out effort, FC Rebel's Tõnu Vainamäe threw himself towards the right post 5 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Mehis Kroon, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. After some fancy dribbling in the 10th minute, Mehis Kroon managed to get in a good position for a shot. FC Rebel's supporters rose to their feet, but Mehis Kroon was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Tõnu Vainamäe breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 15 minutes into the match, FC MatriX's goal looked a bit too open when Holger Herde came free, but Tõnu Vainamäe reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Helger Paukson in the 28th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Meelis Aalto saved FC Rebel from getting behind. Ando Pahasoo had several of the FC MatriX's defenders around him in the penalty area when he, after 32 minutes of play, received a pass and succeeded in some way to shoot a shot which went straight ahead into goal. This resulted in a 1-0 score and a disappointed Tõnu Vainamäe as he didn't even see the shot coming. Tõnu Vainamäe showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Holger Herde in the 38th minute of the match. FC Rebel's Meelis Aalto played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Janari Karbo in the 40th minute of play. A collision led to FC Rebel getting a freekick after 44 minutes play. Ando Pahasoo hit a great ball.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Janari Karbo stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Tõnu Vainamäe showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Ando Pahasoo, who was totally free with the ball in the 54th minute. 56 minutes into the game, Janari Karbo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. FC MatriX's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave FC Rebel the free kick. After 57 played minutes FC MatriX got a freekick which was hit by Janari Karbo. Holger Herde took the ball and in the 59 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Tõnu Vainamäe. Tõnu Vainamäe dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 2-1. 62 minutes into the game, FC Rebel's Ando Pahasoo nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Tõnu Vainamäe made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 3-1. In the 66th minute the ball was on its way in behind FC MatriX's goalkeeper Tõnu Vainamäe, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. 69 minutes into the match, FC MatriX's goal looked a bit too open when Reino Sepik came free, but Tõnu Vainamäe reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a rather tough play, FC Rebel's Aadu Randmaa got a free kick in the 71st minute. 72 minutes into the match, FC MatriX's Martti Puusepp sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Meelis Aalto narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Reino Sepik hit a great freekick 82 minutes into the match. If Tarvi Villem had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After 93 minutes of play, FC Rebel's Reino Sepik made it 4-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Tõnu Vainamäe was left in no man's land by his defense there! FC Rebel walked away with a well-earned victory that was much celebrated by the crowd.
