League Play-Off

Kiivra
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Olari Rehepap started the match with the kick off. Vaino Karai fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 3rd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Einar Ümarik having to interfere. Aare Saar might have been able to make a better finish in the 5th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Einar Ümarik. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Aare Saar ran back to his position shaking his head. In the 11thth minute of the game Aare Saar who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Kiivra's Einar Ümarik was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 14th minute Vaino Karai shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Einar Ümarik saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Aare Saar succeeded in the game's 15th minute to shoot an unreachable shot under the crossbar and scored - 0-1. Aare Laanemaa kicked well hit freekick during the 19th minute of the match. Einar Ümarik made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Aare Saar in the 23rd minute of play. Vaino Karai fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 25th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Einar Ümarik having to interfere. Vaino Karai sent away a hard shot on goal in the 27th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Olari Rehepap fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 30th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hardo Rank having to interfere. With a little luck, JK Gauka's Hardo Rank got control of the ball when Kuno Vabadus tried to sneak it across the goal line. Olari Rehepap received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 35th minute. Hardo Rank tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 36th minute, Aare Saar ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Einar Ümarik was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-2. After some fancy dribbling in the 40th minute, Aare Saar managed to get in a good position for a shot. JK Gauka's supporters rose to their feet, but Aare Saar was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Einar Ümarik breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Aare Saar to strike the kick off in the second half. Kuno Vabadus recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 52nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. If Kuno Vabadus had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 54th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 58th minute Kuno Vabadus shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Hardo Rank saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Aare Saar came up free with the goalie in the 61st minute, the JK Gauka 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 Aare Saar couldn't finish the play. In the 64th minute the ball was on its way in behind Kiivra's goalkeeper Einar Ümarik, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After a rather tough play, Kiivra's Egert Leevike got a free kick in the 65th minute. Einar Ümarik didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 68th minute, which inside left pole to 0-3. Kiivra's Kuno Vabadus got a good chance for a goal in the 78th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. If Aare Saar had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 82nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Kiivra's Einar Ümarik proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 86th minute of the match, managed to save Kiivra from getting a goal against them. 89 minutes into the match, Vaino Karai had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Einar Ümarik. Kiivra's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Vaino Karai was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-4. A collision led to JK Gauka getting a freekick after 92 minutes play. Aare Laanemaa hit a great ball. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Paul Uni during the 93rd minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. In the 94th minute, JK Gauka's Vaino Karai ran free of his marker and smoothly shot the ball into the goal behind Einar Ümarik. Einar Ümarik yelled at his defense, as they had left him out to dry. 0-5. JK Gauka played a much better game than Kiivra and deserved their victory. The Kiivra players were clearly disappointed as they left the ground.
