Ovanurme Staadion
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Erki Paukson took the kick off in the first half of the match. When Margus Kallaste fell near the penalty area in the 3rd minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ovanurme's protests and gave Margus Kallaste a yellow card for diving instead. After 3 played minutes Ovanurme got a freekick which was hit by Margus Kallaste. Asso Jõgi received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 5th minute. Vambola Kartau tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Vambola Kartau came out of the goal in the 7th minute to try and stop a shot by Vaksali Lokomotiiv's Marek Veide. But to his dismay, Marek Veide quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Tambet Latikas received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 10th minute. Vambola Kartau tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Tambet Latikas sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Margus Kallaste got his second yellow card in the match during the 21st minute which meant that he had to leave the ground. A collision led to Ovanurme getting a freekick after 22 minutes play. Margus Kallaste hit a great ball. If Asso Jõgi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. When the match clock showed 32 minutes, the score became 0-2 when Asso Jõgi sped through Ovanurme's defense and sent away a curving shot that went into the net to the right of Vambola Kartau. After some careless play in the Ovanurme defense, Kurt Van Linthaudt kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Vambola Kartau. The Ovanurme fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Vambola Kartau should have stopped the shot. Erki Paukson's late challenge caught a Vaksali Lokomotiiv's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Erki Paukson helped the player get up and apologised. When Vaksali Lokomotiiv's Asso Jõgi in the 43rd minute got a chance for a shot 43rd didn't hesitate and placed the ball to the right of the goalie. A beautiful save bye Ovanurme's goalie prevented a goal.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Kurt Van Linthaudt stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. Ovanurme's Vambola Kartau played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Kurt Van Linthaudt in the 51st minute of play. If Asso Jõgi had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 65th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 68th minute, Tambet Latikas got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Asso Jõgi fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 69th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Vambola Kartau having to interfere. Vambola Kartau didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Marek Veide went, in the 72nd minute, to the upper right corner, 0-4 was the resulting score.
