Arvi Alliksaar came out of the goal and Ardo Roosaare tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.

Arvi Alliksaar tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. 41 minutes into the match, JK Nuia's goal looked a bit too open when Elmar Kalle came free, but Kevin Ärsis reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

After some fancy dribbling in the 92nd minute, Elmar Kalle managed to get in a good position for a shot. Mooritsa FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Elmar Kalle was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Kevin Ärsis breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Raimo Kirst's late challenge caught a Mooritsa FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Raimo Kirst helped the player get up and apologised. A collision led to JK Nuia getting a freekick after 93 minutes play. Raimo Kirst hit a great ball.
