League Play-Off

Suurpea Stadium
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, 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. Lauri Eessaar started the match with the kick off. Toivo Aluste didn't succeed in stopping the ball in the 3rd minute, which inside left pole to 1-0. After having played for 6 minutes, Ain Salumäe managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. FC Helios's supporters crossed their fingers, but Ain Salumäe was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After 10 minutes, Ain Salumäe mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the FC Helios and the FC Jägermeister players grew even worse after the yellow card. A collision led to FC Helios getting a freekick after 10 minutes play. Ain Salumäe hit a great ball. 12 minutes into the game, Tavo Kadastik was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. FC Jägermeister's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave FC Helios the free kick. After a rather tough play, FC Jägermeister's Tavo Kadastik got a free kick in the 12th minute. The supporters of FC Helios booed when FC Jägermeister was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 15 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hannes Veisson didn't get a good kick on the ball. In the 18th minute, Lauri Eessaar ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Ando Jaani was frozen by the shot and now it was 1-1. In the 25th minute Lauri Eessaar shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ando Jaani saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When Georg Pentus fell near the penalty area in the 25th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored FC Helios's protests and gave Georg Pentus a yellow card for diving instead. After 25 played minutes FC Helios got a freekick which was hit by Georg Pentus. If Rait Halliste had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 30th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Albert Tenno had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 33rd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 36 played minutes FC Helios got a freekick which was hit by Ain Salumäe. Ando Jaani showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Viljar Traat in the 37th minute of the match. Lauri Eessaar fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 40th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Ando Jaani having to interfere. FC Jägermeister's Toivo Aluste proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 45th minute of the match, managed to save FC Jägermeister from getting a goal against them. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Lauri Eessaar in the 47th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Ando Jaani saved FC Helios from getting behind. After a very even first half the match was still tied. The players went to their respective dressing rooms to discuss the tactics for the second half.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Ain Salumäe made a kick off. In the 51st minute, Lauri Eessaar made a precise shot to the right of Ando Jaani. FC Helios's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-2. 55 minutes into the match, Albert Tenno had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Toivo Aluste. FC Jägermeister's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Albert Tenno was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 2-2. Albert Tenno received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 59th minute. Toivo Aluste tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ando Jaani made a fantastic save in the 63rd minute, when Viljar Traat sent off a good shot on target. In the 68th minute, Viljar Traat left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net. The FC Jägermeister fans were clearly happy with the effort and the scoreboard reflected the new score: 2-3. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Raimo Pottsepp during the 71st minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Raimo Pottsepp hit a great freekick 72 minutes into the match. FC Jägermeister's Väino Niit got a good chance for a goal in the 73rd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Ain Salumäe sent away a hard shot on goal in the 78th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Lauri Eessaar received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 81st minute. Ando Jaani tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Viljar Traats short, quick shot in the 82ndth minute got Ando Jaani to make great effort and bar the ball away from getting in. Viljar Traat succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 2-4 in the 84th playminute. Raimo Pottsepp hit a great freekick 87 minutes into the match. Toivo Aluste took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Albert Tenno, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. FC Jägermeister's Toivo Aluste played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Albert Tenno in the 92nd minute of play. After 95 played minutes, FC Helios's Raimo Pottsepp shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Toivo Aluste 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 Helios reached it.
