Spectators: 7498 (Terracing: 5624, Seating: 1725, VIP seats: 149) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Joe Naaber started the match with the kick off. When Mannikvalja's Karmo Mustkivi in the 3rd minute got a chance for a shot 3rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Lasnamägi CF's goalie prevented a goal. When Valter Olt fell near the penalty area in the 3rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Lasnamägi CF's protests and gave Valter Olt a yellow card for diving instead.

Valter Olt didn't get a good kick on the ball. 6 minutes into the match, Karmo Mustkivi notched a goal, 0-1, to the right of Lasnamägi CF's Hannes Übi. Hannes Übi was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. 14 minutes into the match, Lasnamägi CF's goal looked a bit too open when Karmo Mustkivi came free, but Hannes Übi reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

First the ball seemed to get in, but turned out to be on the outside of the net. A great chance! The score stood at 1-1 when the half time whistle went.

Eiko Oher showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Tanel Kena in the 89th minute of the match. Valter Olt might have been able to make a better finish in the 92nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Eiko Oher. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out.
