Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Volli Halman took the kick off in the first half of the match. Elar Ereb took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Volli Halman, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Joeaartse's Volli Halman got a good chance for a goal in the 5th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. An unexpectedly hard shot by Volli Halman in the 8th minute of play forced JK Lepa's goalkeeper Elar Ereb to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 10 minutes into the game, Volli Halman cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Olaf Jõe in the 25th minute of play forced Joeaartse's goalkeeper Tanel Nahasepp to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Herbert Vaglaots could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 27th minute of the match, but Tanel Nahasepp made a huge save. The audience was convinced that Olaf Jõe's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Tanel Nahasepp was relentless in the 29th minute of the game. In the 32nd minute, Mati Heli ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Elar Ereb was frozen by the shot and now it was 2-2.

Herbert Vaglaots scored 4-2 in the 70th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Tanel Nahasepp, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 79 minutes into the game, Artur Kiik was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. JK Lepa's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Joeaartse the free kick. Artur Kiik hit a great freekick 79 minutes into the match. Tanel Nahasepp showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Olaf Jõe in the 88th minute of the match.
