Spectators: 6691 (Terracing: 5000, Seating: 1691, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Johannes Alasoo took the kick off in the first half of the match. After a rather tough play, JK Plaatina's Tauno Aav got a free kick in the 3rd minute. After a defensive mix-up in JK Plaatina's zone, Johannes Alasoo stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Holger Leppnurm came out of the goal and Johannes Alasoo tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 11th minute, Tom Rehepap hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some fancy dribbling in the 13th minute, Aivar Karmo managed to get in a good position for a shot. Putki FC's supporters rose to their feet, but Aivar Karmo was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Holger Leppnurm breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. In the 15th minute, Rait Ime hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Riho Rõuk sent away a hard shot on goal in the 17th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Lembit Hütt made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Riho Rõuk in the 25th minute of play. 28 minutes into the match, JK Plaatina's goal looked a bit too open when Johannes Alasoo came free, but Holger Leppnurm reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Hardi Lasn hit a great freekick 29 minutes into the match. If Riho Rõuk had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Holger Leppnurm took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Johannes Alasoo, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. 41 minutes into the game, Lauri Jaska cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-1. Lembit Hütt was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-1 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 Riho Rõuk stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. When the match had gone on for 57 minutes, Riho Rõuk took a quick shot and it went in 0-2 without a chance for Lembit Hütt to make any attempt to save it.

In the 80th minute Johannes Alasoo shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Holger Leppnurm saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. An unexpectedly hard shot by Kris Stroom in the 83rd minute of play forced JK Plaatina's goalkeeper Holger Leppnurm to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Riho Rõuk took the ball and in the 84 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Lembit Hütt. Lembit Hütt dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-3. 87 minutes into the game, Johannes Alasoo was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Putki FC's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave JK Plaatina the free kick. Johannes Alasoo kicked well hit freekick during the 87th minute of the match. Lauri Jaska sent away a hard shot on goal in the 88th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. A collision led to Putki FC getting a freekick after 89 minutes play. Kris Stroom hit a great ball. Lauri Jaska's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Lembit Hütt read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 91st minute of play. 92 minutes into the match, JK Plaatina's Riho Rõuk sent off a blazing shot straight on target, a shot that Lembit Hütt narrowly saved just below the crossbar.
