Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Marko Nummert made the kick off and thus started the match. Kaimo Bragin made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Priidu Hõlpus in the 3rd minute of play. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ats Tähismaa in the 6th minute of play forced FC Pahila's goalkeeper Joe Arulepp to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 15 minutes into the match, FC Pahila's goal looked a bit too open when Ats Tähismaa came free, but Joe Arulepp reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in FC Pahila's zone, Ats Tähismaa stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Joe Arulepp came out of the goal and Ats Tähismaa tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Marko Nummert sent away a hard shot on goal in the 19th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance.

Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. When Illimar Väester fell near the penalty area in the 27th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Yyysmyae's protests and gave Illimar Väester a yellow card for diving instead. After 26 minutes of play, the referee blew the whistle. It was a penalty for Yyysmyae! Andre Laanemets shot the penalty kick by force right in the crossbar. No goal. The supporters of Yyysmyae booed when FC Pahila was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 34 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hardo Laanemaa didn't get a good kick on the ball. 36 minutes into the match, Ats Tähismaa had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Joe Arulepp. FC Pahila's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ats Tähismaa was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. After 39 minutes, Elmut Berendsen mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the FC Pahila and the Yyysmyae players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 39th minute, Elmut Berendsen hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The wind increased when Kaijo Kont made the kick off in the second half. Marko Nummert sent away a hard shot on goal in the 56th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out.

Rauno Laaneloog hit a great freekick 73 minutes into the match. After 74 played minutes, FC Pahila's Andre Laanemets shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Kaimo Bragin 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 FC Pahila reached it. Kaijo Kont struck a weak shot in the 75th minute. Kaimo Bragin didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for FC Pahila.

In the 85th minute Marko Nummert shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Joe Arulepp saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line.

Neither team had looked impressive and the draw seeemd a fair result.
