Lennart Merioja made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Mehmet Bilge Mertel in the 3rd minute of play. In the 10th minute, Henri Villem ran past the defenders and hit a shot which went straight ahead into goal. Yunus Canser was frozen by the shot and now it was 0-1. Aare Urm's late challenge caught a Cisco Birlik FC's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Aare Urm helped the player get up and apologised. Yunus Canser showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ilmar Veenpere in the 22nd minute of the match. Kogimyae JK's Lennart Merioja proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 23rd minute of the match, managed to save Kogimyae JK from getting a goal against them. In the 26th minute, Kartal As hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. After some fancy dribbling in the 27th minute, Joonas Nõmmiste managed to get in a good position for a shot. Kogimyae JK's supporters rose to their feet, but Joonas Nõmmiste was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Yunus Canser breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. After 29 minutes, Olavi Lainevoog mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Kogimyae JK and the Cisco Birlik FC players grew even worse after the yellow card. 28 minutes into the game, one of Kogimyae JK:s players got tackled near the goal, and the referee blew for a penalty. Cisco Birlik FC's Yasin Karluk got a good chance for a goal in the 32nd minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. Henri Villem took the ball and in the 39 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Yunus Canser. Yunus Canser dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 1-2. Luck had favoured the away team in the first, and they walked off with a 1-2 lead.

In the 52nd match minute, Kogimyae JK was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Joonas Nõmmiste to maneuver through the defense. Olavi Lainevoog hit a great freekick 54 minutes into the match. After some careless play in the Kogimyae JK defense, Yasin Karluk kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Lennart Merioja. The Kogimyae JK fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Lennart Merioja should have stopped the shot. In the 58th minute, Bayındır Mehmet Ünlüer 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. The crowd rose to their feet as Joonas Nõmmiste kicked a wonderful shot that went in to the left of a diving Yunus Canser. That made the score 2-3 in the 60 minute of play. 68 minutes into the match, Cisco Birlik FC's goal looked a bit too open when Henri Villem came free, but Yunus Canser reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. With his leg Yunus Canser managed to avoid a goal in the 69thth minute, when Kogimyae JK's Henri Villem fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Joonas Nõmmiste recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 72nd minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Yunus Canser made an important save on a dangerous shot by Joonas Nõmmiste in the 85th minute. Henri Villem struck a weak shot in the 86th minute. Yunus Canser didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Kogimyae JK. An unexpectedly hard shot by Henri Villem in the 88th minute of play forced Cisco Birlik FC's goalkeeper Yunus Canser to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. With a little luck, Cisco Birlik FC's Yunus Canser got control of the ball when Joonas Nõmmiste tried to sneak it across the goal line. The Cisco Birlik FC fans had already started to leave before the final whistle blew. Kogimyae JK were clearly better and deserved to take the win.
