League Play-Off

Radna Staadion
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Argo Vari kicked off to start the match. If Joe Viilukas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 3rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 6 minutes into the match, FS Radna's goal looked a bit too open when Argo Vari came free, but Joe Aaslo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Vahur Kottise scored 0-1 in the 9th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Joe Aaslo, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 20th minute, Argo Vari left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The Pivarootsi fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 0-2. Joe Aaslo showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Argo Vari, who was totally free with the ball in the 26th minute. Vahur Kottise received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Joe Aaslo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Juss Karu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 37th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Joonas Udal having to interfere. If Juss Karu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 40th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Juss Karu fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 42nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Joonas Udal having to interfere. After the first half Pivarootsi were leading 0-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Juss Karu stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. In the 53rd minute Argo Vari shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Joe Aaslo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. 59 minutes into the match, FS Radna's goal looked a bit too open when Argo Vari came free, but Joe Aaslo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Rain Reiljan's late challenge caught a Pivarootsi's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Rain Reiljan helped the player get up and apologised. When the match had been going on for 69 minutes, Pivarootsi's Kajar Vent got an opportunity to shoot a penalty. He stayed cool and waited for the goalkeeper to move, before he confidently shot the ball into the goal, to the left of Joe Aaslo. After a defensive mix-up in FS Radna's zone, Vahur Kottise stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Joe Aaslo came out of the goal and Vahur Kottise tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Joe Aaslo took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Argo Vari, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Vahur Kottise fell near the penalty area in the 75th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Pivarootsi's protests and gave Vahur Kottise a yellow card for diving instead. After 75 played minutes Pivarootsi got a freekick which was hit by Vahur Kottise. Vahur Kottise kicked well hit freekick during the 81st minute of the match. When Joonas Roos fell near the penalty area in the 83rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored FS Radna's protests and gave Joonas Roos a yellow card for diving instead. The supporters of Pivarootsi booed when FS Radna was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 83 match minutes in a wonderful position. Joonas Roos didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 85th minute, Kajar Vent sent off a long shot on goal, but the shot was nowhere near the goal and FS Radna's Joe Aaslo didn't even have to move. Vahur Kottise sent away a hard shot on goal in the 90th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When Ülo Elken fell near the penalty area in the 94th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Pivarootsi's protests and gave Ülo Elken a yellow card for diving instead. Pivarootsi played a much better game than FS Radna and deserved their victory. The FS Radna players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
