Rakvere Arena
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Visti Estvan started the match with the kick off. When Kaimo Hommik came up free with the goalie in the 4th minute, the Nike Rakvere 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 Kaimo Hommik couldn't finish the play. 6 minutes into the match, Raivo Ülevain had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Hardo Põder. Hepatiit's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Raivo Ülevain was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 1-0. 10 minutes into the game, Kaimo Hommik was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Nike Rakvere's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Hepatiit the free kick. When Mehis Kilk came up free with the goalie in the 11th minute, the Hepatiit 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 Mehis Kilk couldn't finish the play. Hannes Viigipuu charged in rather forcefully in the 17th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Hannes Viigipuu the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. A collision led to Nike Rakvere getting a freekick after 17 minutes play. Hannes Viigipuu hit a great ball. Hardo Põder took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Kaimo Hommik, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. An unexpectedly hard shot by Visti Estvan in the 23rd minute of play forced Nike Rakvere's goalkeeper Egert Kalvik to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 28 minutes into the game, Visti Estvan cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-2. Egert Kalvik was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Egert Kalvik showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Visti Estvan in the 32nd minute of the match. Visti Estvan kicked well hit freekick during the 36th minute of the match. Reynaldo Severo might have been able to make a better finish in the 39th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Egert Kalvik. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Reynaldo Severo ran back to his position shaking his head. Nike Rakvere's Egert Kalvik played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Visti Estvan in the 40th minute of play. The supporters of Hepatiit booed when Nike Rakvere was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 43 match minutes in a wonderful position. Hannes Viigipuu didn't get a good kick on the ball. If Reynaldo Severo had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 47th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 1-2 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Kaimo Hommik stepped up to make the kick off in the second half.

Hepatiit's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 2-2. 56 minutes into the match, Hepatiit's goal looked a bit too open when Raivo Ülevain came free, but Hardo Põder reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Visti Estvan sent away a hard shot on goal in the 63rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After a rather tough play, Nike Rakvere's Hannes Viigipuu got a free kick in the 64th minute. In the 66th minute the ball was on its way in behind Nike Rakvere's goalkeeper Egert Kalvik, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Visti Estvan scored 2-3 in the 69th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Egert Kalvik, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. In the 75th minute, Visti Estvan left the goalkeeper for dead before tapping the ball into the right side of the net.
