Overcast weather free of rain made for a crowd turnout of 5892 at Igauņu stadions today. A 4-4-2 alignment was the formation of choice for Igauņi2. Lineup: Zeltiņš - Uryn, Beiziters, Rajeckis, Grīnbergs - Biksāns, Elcers, Shikalev, Sviestiņš - Avotiņš, Rozenbergs.

Coca_Cola decided to use a 4-4-2 set up. The following players took the field: Užavnieks - Bogdanovs, Saraev, Petrashevskiy, Buls - Kreicbergs, Čamans, Fomins, Elksnis - Vigulis, Grāvītis.

It was obvious that Coca_Cola were using their pressing skill as their primary tactic. Igauņi2's I. Avotiņš was shown a yellow card for standing over the ball and blocking an opponent's quick free kick after 3 minutes. The pressing tactics used by Coca_Cola were successful as the ball remained close to the half way line at all times. J. Brandavs was called on to replace Coca_Cola's V. Grāvītis after 31 minutes following a nasty collision. The guests almost went up by a goal after 41 minutes when M. Vigulis came through and shot from the right. The ball bounced harmlessly off the post, though. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 0. Coca_Cola claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 52 percent.

The head of A. Čamans connected with a corner kick after 65 minutes, and the ball ended up with B. Elksnis of Coca_Cola who blasted the ball into the net, making the score 0 - 1. After 77 minutes a well-practised indirect free kick routine by Coca_Cola was easily anticipated by the defenders. The players forward were so well marked, they were left with few viable options. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by Coca_Cola, with 51 percent of the ball.

The most dominating Igauņi2 player was without a doubt J. Rozenbergs. I. Zeltiņš on the other hand, had a terrible day. Coca_Cola's best player was M. Vigulis. M. Bogdanovs was a disappointment, however. The match ends 0 - 1.
