Spectators: 7563 (Terracing: 5673, Seating: 1739, VIP seats: 151) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Mairo Külaase started the match with the kick off. In the 2nd minute, Bruno Kargu hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After 3 played minutes, A1M's Valdur Veenpere shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Rasmus Laik came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in A1M reached it. Eerik Tuul sent away a hard shot on goal in the 6th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After having played for 7 minutes, Kaimo Vaas managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Haapsalu JK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Kaimo Vaas was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Rasmus Laik showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Valdur Veenpere in the 11th minute of the match. After 13 minutes Haapsalu JK's defender was forced to head the ball over the line for a corner. It was Valdur Veenpere who took care of the corner kick. A1M's Valdur Veenpere was first on the ball when the corner was shot and he dangerously headed the ball towards goal, but Rasmus Laik in the goal jumped up to prevent it from getting in. After having played for 15 minutes, Jonathan Xavier managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. A1M's supporters crossed their fingers, but Jonathan Xavier was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Rasmus Laik took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Valdur Veenpere, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 17th minute, Eerik Tuul got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Haapsalu JK's Rasmus Laik played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Valdur Veenpere in the 24th minute of play. Rasmus Laik made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Agu Aug in the 34th minute of play. 36 minutes into the match, A1M's Eerik Tuul sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Rasmus Laik narrowly saved just below the crossbar. A1M's Jonathan Xavier got a good chance for a goal in the 39th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Sven Murumets charged in rather forcefully in the 40th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Sven Murumets the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Sven Murumets hit a great freekick 40 minutes into the match. Lembit Äike received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 44th minute. Rasmus Laik tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The first half was very even, with the score at 0-0 when the whistle went for half-time. The players welcomed the break and quickly retired to the dressing rooms.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Eerik Tuul made a kick off. If Eerik Tuul had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 54th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some careless play in the Haapsalu JK defense, Eerik Tuul kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Rasmus Laik. The Haapsalu JK fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Rasmus Laik should have stopped the shot. In the 77th minute A1M were awarded a corner. Valdur Veenpere went to the cornerflag to take it. A well-hit corner resulted in Eerik Tuul heading the ball towards the goal, but to his dismay he misdirected it and missed the goal completely. Valdur Veenpere scored 0-2 in the 80th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Rasmus Laik, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. Sven Murumets was shown his second yellow card after 84 minutes, following a rather ugly tackle on opponent. That was the end of his participation in the match. After a rather tough play, Haapsalu JK's Sven Murumets got a free kick in the 84th minute. Valdur Veenpere received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 89th minute. Rasmus Laik tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Mairo Külaase during the 94th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. The Haapsalu JK fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. A1M were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
