Spectators: 7526 (Terracing: 5645, Seating: 1731, VIP seats: 150) Piira Arsenal's Tõnn Rannik started the match with a crisp pass. The crowd had been anticipating this game for weeks and the excitement in the stadium was easily visible. 4 minutes into the match, Piira Arsenal's goal looked a bit too open when Urmo Noorsaar came free, but Arnold Kurg reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. When Tõnn Rannik got free in front of the goal in the 6th minute he wasn't very focused and chipped the ball just over the goal. Hendrik Kelder was delighted since he was out of position and the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. Hendrik Kelder took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tõnn Rannik, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When the match clock showed 12 minutes, the score became 0-1 when Anti Sale sped through Piira Arsenal's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Arnold Kurg. 21 minutes into the match, JK Usi's goalkeeper Hendrik Kelder had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Mikk Maamägi. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Erik Raitviir during the 24th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Mikk Maamägi in the 25thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Hendrik Kelder, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Mikk Maamägi could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 26th minute of the match, but Hendrik Kelder made a huge save. 28 minutes into the match, Erik Raitviir had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Arnold Kurg. Piira Arsenal's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Erik Raitviir was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-2. In the 36th minute Erik Raitviir shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Arnold Kurg saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Mikk Maamägi sent away a hard shot on goal in the 39th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 42nd minute, Roland Nurmeots left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The JK Usi fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 1-3. After the first half JK Usi were leading 1-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Anti Sale made a kick off. 51 minutes into the match, Tõnn Rannik notched a goal, 2-3, to the right of JK Usi's Hendrik Kelder. Hendrik Kelder was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Mikk Maamägi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 60th minute. Hendrik Kelder tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpected shot in the 71st minute by Erik Raitviir got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. Arnold Vihalem charged in rather forcefully in the 74th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Arnold Vihalem the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. JK Usi's supporters stood up full of expectation in the 76th minute of the game, when Kajar Jusson after an extraordinary solo performance found himself with a golden opportunity in front of Piira Arsenal's goal. Kajar Jusson was unfortunally a little to anxious and the ball went outside the goal. After a defensive mix-up in Piira Arsenal's zone, Anti Sale stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Arnold Kurg came out of the goal and Anti Sale tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Arnold Kurg was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Anti Sale showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 2-4 in the 80 minute of play. Piira Arsenal's Arnold Kurg proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 88th minute of the match, managed to save Piira Arsenal from getting a goal against them. Hendrik Kelder showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Mikk Maamägi, who was totally free with the ball in the 95th minute. When the final whistle was heard the away supporters stood up and showed their joy. JK Usi had managed to secure a win in what was a close match throughout.
