Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Kalle Tamm kicked off to start the match. In the 4th minute Eimar Pärt shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Jüri Blank saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. Hillar Arus could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 9th minute of the match, but Joe Ilvik made a huge save. Eimar Pärt received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 16th minute. Jüri Blank tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Simo Aare hit a great freekick 23 minutes into the match. In the 26th minute, SK Unakvere's Kalle Tamm dribbled the ball into the box and hit a shot with the outside of his foot, sending the keeper the wrong way. 1-0. When Hillar Arus came up free with the goalie in the 34th minute, the SK Unakvere 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 Hillar Arus couldn't finish the play. Sven Grensmann hit a great freekick 38 minutes into the match. In the 42nd minute, Theodor Ärsis hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field.

Hillar Arus in the 46thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Joe Ilvik, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. When Kalle Tamm, who was free, got the in front of the goal in the 50 minute he wasn't focused and tipped the ball just over the goal. The Joe Ilvik was delighted since the ball would have got in if it had gone under the crossbar. The home fans were very happy to see their team leading 1-0 at half-time.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Eimar Pärt made a kick off. Eimar Pärt blasted a shot towards the goal in the 56th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Jüri Blank having to make a save. After a defensive mix-up in FC Pedu's zone, Hillar Arus stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Joe Ilvik came out of the goal and Hillar Arus tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. The audience was convinced that Kalle Tamm's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Joe Ilvik was relentless in the 61st minute of the game. 68 minutes into the match, FC Pedu's goal looked a bit too open when Hillar Arus came free, but Joe Ilvik reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Jüri Blank showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Eimar Pärt in the 82nd minute of the match. Eimar Pärt received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 85th minute. Jüri Blank tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After 88 minutes of play, SK Unakvere's Hillar Arus made it 3-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Joe Ilvik was left in no man's land by his defense there! SK Unakvere's fans were exulted and cheered after their team won in a match that could easily have gone the other way.
