Anton Loodus made a valiant effort, but he could not reach the ball in time, 0-1.

Ahti Vall sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Anton Loodus showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ahti Vall in the 44th minute of the match. After a defensive mix-up in Tukhalan's zone, Ahti Vall stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Anton Loodus came out of the goal and Ahti Vall tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After the first half Jouga JK were leading 0-1. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Ain Mölder was the one to do the kick off. Arne Ärm came out of the goal in the 51st minute to try and stop a shot by Tukhalan's Ain Mölder. But to his dismay, Ain Mölder quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 1-1. Antti Varendi kicked well hit freekick during the 65th minute of the match. After some fancy dribbling in the 70th minute, Ahti Vall managed to get in a good position for a shot. Jouga JK's supporters rose to their feet, but Ahti Vall was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Anton Loodus breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 72nd minute Ahti Vall shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Anton Loodus saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Mattias Üksvärav, 75 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Arne Ärm took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Arthur Haavistu, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 95 minutes into the match, Tukhalan's goalkeeper Anton Loodus had to clear away a ball on his right side after a cunning shot by Eedi Hommik.
