Laeva Staadion
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Samuel Üits started the match with the kick off. Olav Jaas showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Väino Ojasaar, who was totally free with the ball in the 10th minute. An unexpectedly hard shot by Samuel Üits in the 12th minute of play forced Rabivere's goalkeeper Viljar Lüüs to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. After 14th play minutes Andri Vainsalu shot 1-0, a short shot which went by Viljar Lüüs and just under the crossbar into goal. If Andri Vainsalu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 19th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After some fancy dribbling in the 20th minute, Väino Ojasaar managed to get in a good position for a shot. Rabivere's supporters rose to their feet, but Väino Ojasaar was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Olav Jaas breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. If Andri Vainsalu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. 37 minutes into the game, Rabivere's Ragnar Asjalik nearly tore a hole in the net with a booming shot. Olav Jaas made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 1-1. Olav Jaas made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Väino Ojasaar in the 45th minute of play. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Väino Ojasaar stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. 53 minutes into the match, Rabivere's goal looked a bit too open when Andri Vainsalu came free, but Viljar Lüüs reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Samuel Üits struck a weak shot in the 55th minute. Viljar Lüüs didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for FS Laeva.

Väino Ojasaar sent away a hard shot on goal in the 58th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

A collision led to FS Laeva getting a freekick after 75 minutes play. Endel Hea hit a great ball. Samuel Üits blasted a shot towards the goal in the 79th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Viljar Lüüs having to make a save. After a defensive mix-up in Rabivere's zone, Andri Vainsalu stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Viljar Lüüs came out of the goal and Andri Vainsalu tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. If Andri Vainsalu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Samuel Üits fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 87th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Viljar Lüüs having to interfere. If Andri Vainsalu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 89th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 91st minute Samuel Üits shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Viljar Lüüs saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Viljar Lüüs showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Samuel Üits, who was totally free with the ball in the 97th minute. The final whistle blew with the score still tied, and both teams left the pitch thinking about the missed chances that could have given their team the win.
