Spectators: 7692 (Terracing: 5770, Seating: 1769, VIP seats: 153) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Erik Paju took the kick off in the first half of the match. Bradley Moon struck a weak shot in the 7th minute. Julius Leigo didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for The Obscurials. After a rather tough play, The Obscurials's Craig Gronow got a free kick in the 10th minute. The Obscurials's Albert Day played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Erik Paju in the 11th minute of play. 12 minutes had been played when some careless play by The Obscurials's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Lennart Jaanovits was slow to take the kick. During this time Jk Tammeka 90's players had a chance to rest. After taking down the ball on Jk Tammeka 90's corner Lennart Jaanovits fired away a hard shot, but the defenders efficiently covered the most dangerous angles and Albert Day quite easily take care of the ball. Lauri Mäekala took the ball and in the 14 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Albert Day. Albert Day dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. A collision led to The Obscurials getting a freekick after 24 minutes play. Craig Gronow hit a great ball. If Lance Morey had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. Albert Day showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Erik Paju in the 29th minute of the match. In the 30th minute, Lauri Mäekala 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. Thanks to some nice foot action and superb ball handling Bradley Moon in the 40th minute a chance for a shot on goal. With an extended leg and a bit of luck Julius Leigo prevented the ball from getting in the gole. Bradley Moon received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 42nd minute. Julius Leigo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. When Erik Paju came up free with the goalie in the 44th minute, the Jk Tammeka 90 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 Erik Paju couldn't finish the play.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Bradley Moon to strike the kick off in the second half. Kaljo Laar's late challenge caught a The Obscurials's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Kaljo Laar helped the player get up and apologised. In the 53rd minute of the match Jarvis Locke shot from a long distance. The ball could have gone into the goal to the right of the goalkeeper, but Julius Leigo showed his good shape when he easily got hold of the ball. In the 57th minute, Lance Morey made a precise shot to the right of Julius Leigo. Jk Tammeka 90's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-1. With 63 minutes on the clock, Edward Virgin commited a dangerous tackle. The referee had no choice but to show him the red card. Albert Day had in the 64thth minute some difficulties stopping Lennart Jaanovits's well aimed penalty as it nearly passed him on his left side, but he still managed to hold the ball. In the 64th minute, Lennart Jaanovits ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Albert Day was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-2. In the 69th minute Bradley Moon shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Julius Leigo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Erik Paju fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 71st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Albert Day having to interfere. Archie Belford kicked well hit freekick during the 73rd minute of the match. The supporters of Jk Tammeka 90 booed when The Obscurials was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 77 match minutes in a wonderful position. Archie Belford didn't get a good kick on the ball. Erik Paju received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 88th minute. Albert Day tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere.
