Spectators: 170 (Terracing: 128, Seating: 39, VIP seats: 3) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Ain Oks kicked off to start the match. After a rather tough play, FC Kopli's Jann Leiten got a free kick in the 5th minute. If Ain Oks had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 7th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Lembit Õigus scored 0-1 in the 9th match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Meelis Haab, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. 13 minutes into the match, Andris Lehtmäe notched a goal, 1-1, to the right of FC Kopli's Aivar Laineste. Aivar Laineste was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. Meelis Haab showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Hardi Pett, who was totally free with the ball in the 19th minute. Meelis Haab didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Lembit Õigus went, in the 19th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-2 was the resulting score. Maarek Poltimäe charged in rather forcefully in the 25th minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Maarek Poltimäe the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. After a rather tough play, FC Kopli's Oskar Vaha got a free kick in the 27th minute. Andris Lehtmäe recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 31st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. The supporters of FC Kopli booed when Rymu was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 35 match minutes in a wonderful position. Dan Neumann didn't get a good kick on the ball. Rymu's Meelis Haab played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Oskar Vaha in the 40th minute of play. Jann Leiten received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 41st minute. Meelis Haab tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Lembit Õigus in the 43rd managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Meelis Haab saved Rymu from getting behind. Jann Leiten blasted a shot towards the goal in the 44th minute, but the shot hit the top of the crossbar and went out without Meelis Haab having to make a save. If Jann Leiten had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After a defensive mix-up in Rymu's zone, Lembit Õigus stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Meelis Haab came out of the goal and Lembit Õigus tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. After the first half FC Kopli were leading 1-2. They had played with great self confidence throughout the first half and fully deserved their lead.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Lembit Õigus to make the kick off. In the 64th minute, Maarek Rajamäe hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. Hardi Pett came free with the goalkeeper in the 72nd minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Meelis Haab could save by the left post. FC Kopli's attacker deliberately struck the ball against an opponent to win a corner for his team. The corner was taken by Lembit Õigus in the 73rd minute. The supporters of FC Kopli booed when Rymu was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 74 match minutes in a wonderful position. Janari Lillo didn't get a good kick on the ball. With a little luck, Rymu's Meelis Haab got control of the ball when Lembit Õigus tried to sneak it across the goal line. Hardi Pett succeeded to score despite a near miss that spronge from right pole into the goal to 1-3 in the 79th playminute. If Oskar Vaha had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 84th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Väino Veeber hit a great freekick 88 minutes into the match. With his leg Meelis Haab managed to avoid a goal in the 89thth minute, when FC Kopli's Lembit Õigus fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. After some fancy dribbling in the 91st minute, Väino Veeber managed to get in a good position for a shot. Rymu's supporters rose to their feet, but Väino Veeber was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Aivar Laineste breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. FC Kopli's players went to the stands to thank the travelling support. The fan's backing had helped spurr the team on to a fine performance that won them the match.
