Manija
Spectators: 34 (Terracing: 26, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Eimar Sõõr got the match started through his kick off. In the 5th minute, Ermo Poltimäe 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. Lauri Nõmmemaa made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Eimar Sõõr in the 9th minute of play. Lauri Nõmmemaa showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ilmar Kalde in the 11th minute of the match. Rait Välk's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Aabel Loik read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 13th minute of play. After having played for 24 minutes, Rait Välk managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Manija JK's supporters crossed their fingers, but Rait Välk was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. The supporters of New Puistola booed when Manija JK was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 31 match minutes in a wonderful position. Joosep Emapoeg didn't get a good kick on the ball. When Eimar Sõõr came up free with the goalie in the 36th minute, the New Puistola 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 Eimar Sõõr couldn't finish the play. Ilmar Kalde took the ball and in the 40 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Lauri Nõmmemaa. Lauri Nõmmemaa dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. In the 47th minute, Rait Välk 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. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 0-1 lead.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Rait Välk was the one to do the kick off. Joosep Emapoeg kicked well hit freekick during the 52nd minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Manija JK's Taaniel Eit got a free kick in the 57th minute. The audience was convinced that Taaniel Eit's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Aabel Loik was relentless in the 64th minute of the game. Rait Välk charged in rather forcefully in the 68th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Rait Välk the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Rait Välk hit a great freekick 68 minutes into the match. Ilmar Kalde sent away a hard shot on goal in the 73rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 75 minutes into the match, New Puistola's goal looked a bit too open when Rait Välk came free, but Aabel Loik reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After some careless play in the New Puistola defense, Ermo Poltimäe kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Aabel Loik. The New Puistola fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Aabel Loik should have stopped the shot. In the 82ndth minute of the game Ermo Poltimäe who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but New Puistola's Aabel Loik was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. 85 minutes in the game, Aare Rõõm fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Lauri Nõmmemaa having to interfere. Eimar Sõõr received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 88th minute. Lauri Nõmmemaa tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Ilmar Kalde fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 98th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Lauri Nõmmemaa having to interfere.
