55 minutes had been played when some careless play by Pay's defense caused the ball to cross the line for a corner. Adolf Valmas was slow to take the kick. During this time Lypplane's players had a chance to rest. Adolf Valmas made a great header on Lypplane's corner, it was just that Pay's Kristofer Reiljan managed to reach the ball for a save.

Mihkel Velberg hit a great freekick 69 minutes into the match. 70 minutes into the match, Pay's Voldemar Lodev broke free and took a long shot that unfortunately flew wide. A fine initiative that could have resulted in a goal. The supporters of Pay booed when Lypplane was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 78 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hannes Joamets didn't get a good kick on the ball. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Hannes Joamets in the 81st managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Kristofer Reiljan saved Pay from getting behind. When Hannes Joamets came up free with the goalie in the 83rd minute, the Lypplane 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 Hannes Joamets couldn't finish the play. With a little luck, Lypplane's Tarmo Vahher got control of the ball when Kuuno Käbin tried to sneak it across the goal line. 87 minutes into the match, Hannes Joamets had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Kristofer Reiljan. Pay's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Hannes Joamets was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-0. Kristofer Reiljan didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Kalju Elken went, in the 92nd minute, to the upper right corner, 3-0 was the resulting score. After 95 played minutes, Pay's Andrus Kangur shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Tarmo Vahher 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 Pay reached it. For all the effort they put into the match, the Pay players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Lypplane.
