Spectators: 7645 (Terracing: 5735, Seating: 1758, VIP seats: 152) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Paul Sepik made the kick off which started today's match. A1M's Aabel Vesi proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 7th minute of the match, managed to save A1M from getting a goal against them. Ando Valgupera came out of the goal in the 9th minute to try and stop a shot by A1M's Jonathan Xavier. But to his dismay, Jonathan Xavier quickly shot the ball in between his legs and into the goal making it 0-1. Georg Veispak received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 13th minute. Ando Valgupera tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Paul Sepik in the 17th minute of play forced A1M's goalkeeper Aabel Vesi to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Tarvi Rahkema kicked well hit freekick during the 19th minute of the match. When Paul Sepik fell near the penalty area in the 21st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ranniku's protests and gave Paul Sepik a yellow card for diving instead. In the 23rd minute Georg Veispak shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Ando Valgupera saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. When the match had gone on for 32 minutes, Georg Veispak put it in 0-3 from a short distance just to the right of Ando Valgupera. Ando Valgupera showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Eerik Tuul, who was totally free with the ball in the 35th minute. In the 36th minute the ball was on its way in behind Ranniku's goalkeeper Ando Valgupera, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. After some fancy dribbling in the 38th minute, Paul Sepik managed to get in a good position for a shot. Ranniku's supporters rose to their feet, but Paul Sepik was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Aabel Vesi breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. Karmo Nagel's late challenge caught a A1M's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Karmo Nagel helped the player get up and apologised. After 43 played minutes Ranniku got a freekick which was hit by Karmo Nagel. An unexpectedly hard shot by Georg Veispak in the 44th minute of play forced Ranniku's goalkeeper Ando Valgupera to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Ingmar Mäetamm hit a great freekick 45 minutes into the match. Tiit Idarand charged in rather forcefully in the 46th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Tiit Idarand the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to A1M getting a freekick after 46 minutes play. Tiit Idarand hit a great ball. After the first half A1M were leading 0-3. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Georg Veispak made a kick off. After a rather tough play, Ranniku's Mait Lutsar got a free kick in the 56th minute. 58 minutes into the match, A1M's Georg Veispak sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Ando Valgupera narrowly saved just below the crossbar. Valdur Veenpere scored 0-4 in the 62nd match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Ando Valgupera, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 64th minute, Maarek Valk hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. A collision led to Ranniku getting a freekick after 67 minutes play. Karmo Nagel hit a great ball. Mait Lutsar lost his temper 72 minutes into the game and shoved another player to the ground. He was immediately shown a red card. Mait Lutsar kicked well hit freekick during the 73rd minute of the match. The supporters of Ranniku booed when A1M was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 75 match minutes in a wonderful position. Maarek Valk didn't get a good kick on the ball. Ando Valgupera didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Tiit Idarand went, in the 78th minute, to the upper right corner, 0-5 was the resulting score. After 80 minutes, Ingmar Mäetamm mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Ranniku and the A1M players grew even worse after the yellow card. In the 80th minute, Ingmar Mäetamm hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 86th match minute, Ranniku was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Paul Sepik to maneuver through the defense. When Jonathan Xavier came up free with the goalie in the 87th minute, the A1M 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 Jonathan Xavier couldn't finish the play. Ando Valgupera was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Eerik Tuul showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 0-6 in the 89 minute of play. When the match was over A1M could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Ranniku throughout the match.
