Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Riivo Sõnajalg made the kick off and thus started the match. After a defensive mix-up in Ligulya's zone, Kaupo Vilu stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Märten Eensoo came out of the goal and Kaupo Vilu tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 16th minute, Kaupo Vilu made a precise shot to the right of Märten Eensoo. Ligulya's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-0. A collision led to Verevi getting a freekick after 20 minutes play. Sander Lessel hit a great ball. In the 21stth minute of the game Riivo Sõnajalg who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Verevi's Jaak Varusk was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Eduard Tooma's late challenge caught a Verevi's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Eduard Tooma helped the player get up and apologised. Eduard Tooma kicked well hit freekick during the 22nd minute of the match. In the 24th minute Timo Valgma shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Märten Eensoo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Kaupo Vilu had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Ligulya's Riivo Sõnajalg got a good chance for a goal in the 35th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. The crowd rose to their feet as Verevi's Timo Valgma slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Märten Eensoo. That made the score 2-1 after 45 minutes of play.

Märten Eensoo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Kaupo Vilu in the 52nd minute of play. When Rain Asmer came up free with the goalie in the 54th minute, the Ligulya 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 Rain Asmer couldn't finish the play. Jaak Varusk showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Riivo Sõnajalg in the 56th minute of the match. After 57 played minutes, Verevi's Tanel Elken shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Märten Eensoo 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 Verevi reached it. When Mikk Kirsipuu came up free with the goalie in the 59th minute, the Verevi 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 Mikk Kirsipuu couldn't finish the play. Märten Eensoo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Timo Valgma in the 60th minute of play. In the 68th minute the ball was on its way in behind Verevi's goalkeeper Jaak Varusk, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After having played for 72 minutes, Riivo Sõnajalg managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Ligulya's supporters crossed their fingers, but Riivo Sõnajalg was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. In the 76thth minute of the game Riivo Sõnajalg who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Verevi's Jaak Varusk was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Rain Asmer sent away a hard shot on goal in the 78th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 81 minutes into the match, Ligulya's goal looked a bit too open when Timo Valgma came free, but Märten Eensoo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. The audience was convinced that Riivo Sõnajalg's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Jaak Varusk was relentless in the 83rd minute of the game. If Rain Asmer had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 85th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 86 minutes of play Ligulya's Eduard Tooma was too eager in his attempt to stop his opponent and brought him down. With that he got his second yellow card and was ordered off the ground. Verevi's supporters were highly satisfied with the result. They cheered their team of the pitch, having watched them win a very even match.
