Norman Eelrand showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Tauno Joamets, who was totally free with the ball in the 42nd minute. Volli Viira struck a weak shot in the 43rd minute. Uudo Sõelsepp didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Pärnu JK Vaprus. Riho Kuningas fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 44th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Uudo Sõelsepp having to interfere. In the 46thth minute of the game Volli Viira who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but FC Kotka's Uudo Sõelsepp was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. With a little luck, FC Kotka's Uudo Sõelsepp got control of the ball when Léo Simões tried to sneak it across the goal line. No-one was surprised that the home team were leading 2-0 at half-time.

The wind increased when Volli Viira made the kick off in the second half. Léo Simões sent away a hard shot on goal in the 55th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Riho Kuningas had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 62nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Norman Eelrand took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Tauno Joamets, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Norman Eelrand was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Tauno Joamets showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 3-1 in the 73 minute of play.

After a rather tough play, FC Kotka's Gert Kargu got a free kick in the 88th minute. The audience was convinced that Volli Viira's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Uudo Sõelsepp was relentless in the 91st minute of the game. It was no surprise that this one had ended in a win for the home team. Pärnu JK Vaprus had played much better football throughout.
