Merkuur 0 - 6 Letti73 (381595287)

It had rained all day, but 7000 hardy fans still made it out to Pärnu Arena. Tomislav Bubalo was the appointed referee with assistance provided by Trandafir Georgescu and Nacho Montaner. Merkuur had chosen a strategic 4-4-2 formation. The following players had been chosen: Viitmann - Kadarpik, Korkka, Mustasaar, Koemets - Vanaliin, Makke, Ruuda, Lauter - Maidsaar, Palk.

Letti73 decided to use a 3-4-3 set up. They fielded: Evaggenelis - Maroto, Mamak, Mazzocato - Thượng Vĩ, Rand, Brcanski, Ortiz - Verkerk, Calame, Riobóo.

Letti73 mostly ignored the flanks in favour of their ability to attack in the middle. The visiting J. Riobóo was booed thoroughly by the home crowd 2 minutes into the game, after he broke through the middle and scored, resulting in the visitors taking the lead. 0 - 1 was the score. N. Brcanski was uncomfortable with the soggy pitch as he couldn't move the ball around with his usual grace. The muddy pitch made the game a gritty affair, which seemed to suit V. Kadarpik just fine. Letti73 players heard their coach's words ringing in their ears and steered their wing attacks to the middle instead. After 28 minutes a combination in the middle resulted in a through ball for N. Brcanski who increased Letti73's lead to 0 - 2. Merkuur had to make a substitution after 36 minutes. V. Makke limped off the field and was replaced by B. Äike. A. Palk was the new captain of Merkuur - handed the armband by the departing player. After 40 minutes, Letti73's F. Calame burst through the central defence and let loose a cannonball of a shot, scoring for 0 - 3.

Letti73 increased their lead after 52 minutes when F. Calame broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 4, much to the home crowd's dismay. Letti73's N. Brcanski got himself booked for a foul. N. Brcanski increased the visitors' lead by putting a volley away after a pass from the right. 0 - 5. I. Mõniste was called on to replace Merkuur's J.
