Spectators: 7674 (Terracing: 5756, Seating: 1765, VIP seats: 153) The mood of the audience was pleasant when Ilmar Kurg made the kick off which started today's match. If Ilmar Kurg had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 6th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 8th minute Ilmar Kurg shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Prudencio Bilbo saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. A collision led to ≡≡ SOMOS ARGENTINA ≡≡ getting a freekick after 8 minutes play. Humberto Lopes hit a great ball. Prudencio Bilbo made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Ilmar Kurg in the 11th minute of play. An unexpected shot in the 15th minute by Hugo Guerau got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. 17 minutes into the match, ≡≡ SOMOS ARGENTINA ≡≡'s goal looked a bit too open when Gerd Saareoja came free, but Prudencio Bilbo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Ivar Meri received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 22nd minute. Prudencio Bilbo tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. After a rather tough play, JK Kurevere's Ago Leks got a free kick in the 23rd minute. After 24 played minutes, ≡≡ SOMOS ARGENTINA ≡≡'s Vicente Izel shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Hugo Vanaliin came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in ≡≡ SOMOS ARGENTINA ≡≡ reached it. Ivar Meri kicked well hit freekick during the 26th minute of the match. After 36 played minutes ≡≡ SOMOS ARGENTINA ≡≡ got a freekick which was hit by Adan Ixidor. Prudencio Bilbo showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Ilmar Kurg in the 39th minute of the match. 41 minutes into the match, ≡≡ SOMOS ARGENTINA ≡≡'s goal looked a bit too open when Ilmar Kurg came free, but Prudencio Bilbo reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

The referee showed Adan Ixidor the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. In the 41st match minute, ≡≡ SOMOS ARGENTINA ≡≡ was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Adan Ixidor to maneuver through the defense. In the 43rdth minute of the game Gerd Saareoja who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but ≡≡ SOMOS ARGENTINA ≡≡'s Prudencio Bilbo was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. In the 46th minute, Hugo Guerau made a precise shot to the right of Hugo Vanaliin. JK Kurevere's defense was at fault, and the scoreboard reflected the new score, 1-0.

Ago Leks charged in rather forcefully in the 63rd minute of the match, and managed to knock his opponent down. The referee showed Ago Leks the yellow card, and asked the players to shake hands before continuing play. Lucas Raebert, 65 minutes into the match, dribbled the ball up the side of the field and decided to take a long shot at the goal. Unfortunately, the ball was poorly hit and landed closer to the corner than to the goal. Ilmar Kurg hit a great freekick 66 minutes into the match. After 67 minutes of play, ≡≡ SOMOS ARGENTINA ≡≡'s Hugo Guerau made it 2-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Hugo Vanaliin was left in no man's land by his defense there! Hugo Vanaliin didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Florencio Gaitano went, in the 70th minute, to the upper right corner, 3-0 was the resulting score. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Gerd Saareoja in the 78th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Prudencio Bilbo saved ≡≡ SOMOS ARGENTINA ≡≡ from getting behind. 82 minutes in the game, Gerd Saareoja fired away an excellent shot, which passed to the side of the right post without Prudencio Bilbo having to interfere. ≡≡ SOMOS ARGENTINA ≡≡'s Prudencio Bilbo played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Ilmar Kurg in the 82nd minute of play. 86 minutes into the match, JK Kurevere's goal looked a bit too open when Florencio Gaitano came free, but Hugo Vanaliin reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line.

In a very dangerous position, a player in JK Kurevere fell when an opponent tried to get the ball from him in the 89th minute. Penalty! Hugo Vanaliin went to the wrong direction when Vicente Izel was taking care of the penalty kick which however missed the goal. ≡≡ SOMOS ARGENTINA ≡≡'s defense didn't have a chance, in the 94th minute, when Gerd Saareoja scored to the left of an out of position Prudencio Bilbo, making the score, 3-1.
