Hando Karikas fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 7th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Meelis Talur having to interfere.

Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The audience was convinced that Arne Vaarandi's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Mait Laid was relentless in the 20th minute of the game.

Hando Karikas might have been able to make a better finish in the 43rd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Meelis Talur. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Hando Karikas ran back to his position shaking his head. Holger Ellermaa's late challenge caught a Kavastu's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain.
