Spectators: 7711 (Terracing: 5785, Seating: 1773, VIP seats: 153) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Amos Valente took the kick off in the first half of the match. 6 minutes into the match, JK Kurevere's goal looked a bit too open when Amos Valente came free, but Olavi Pulver reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Kuuno Auru had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 20th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 22 minutes into the match, Old BaoBaB Accademy's goal looked a bit too open when Kuuno Auru came free, but Alberto Bracco reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Kuuno Auru blasted a shot towards the goal in the 24th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Alberto Bracco having to make a save. If Kuuno Auru had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Felice Di Donato sent away a hard shot on goal in the 31st minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Kuuno Auru scored 0-1 in the 40th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Alberto Bracco, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Amos Valente received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 43rd minute. Olavi Pulver tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Kuuno Auru to strike the kick off in the second half. Leopold Uibo's late challenge caught a Old BaoBaB Accademy's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Leopold Uibo helped the player get up and apologised. After 57 played minutes JK Kurevere got a freekick which was hit by Leopold Uibo. In the 58thth minute of the game Amos Valente who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but JK Kurevere's Olavi Pulver was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball.

When Leopold Uibo came up free with the goalie in the 97th minute, the JK Kurevere fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Leopold Uibo couldn't finish the play. The JK Kurevere supporters could be heard counting down the last seconds of the match. They errupted in celebration when the whistle blew, knowing JK Kurevere would go home with victory in their luggage after a match that easily could have ended differently.
