Counter-attacking seemed to be the preferred strategy of HIIDLASED. The wings were the focus of most of Pringel's attacks today. One of many good crosses from P. Mambretti on the wing was received and skillfully taken care of by A. Ruinemans, who scored for Pringel. 0 - 1 E. Groddeck could have put his team up another goal 20 minutes into the game, after a rush down the left, but his closing shot hit the post. HIIDLASED's A. Karu put his head to a high ball coming in from the right after 42 minutes, but the ball went wide. The teams went for the halftime break at 0 - 1. Pringel claimed to have seen most of the ball, and the statistics agreed with them - possession being 55 percent.

Pringel increased their lead after 51 minutes when P. Hedelund broke through on the right, upping the score to 0 - 2, much to the home crowd's dismay. After a short break after 51 minutes, Pringel seemed to change their tactical approach a bit. After 51 minutes, the Pringel players received new instructions from their manager on how to keep in control of the game. P. Hedelund's experience almost gave Pringel a goal after 64 minutes but the keeper made a great save. Some fine movement on the left led to a Pringel goal after 75 minutes, making it 0 - 3. A. Ruinemans was noted down as the scorer. It might be a while before the fans see Pringel's J. Leiner again, after he had to leave the field in great distress at the 77 minute mark. He was replaced by N. Gündüz. 79 minutes into the match, HIIDLASED's A. Karu collected a ball sent down the right and put it in the back of the net, narrowing the score to 1 - 3. With 83 minutes played, A. Ruinemans nearly put the visitors another one up as he broke through in the middle and fired from just outside the box, but his shot passed just over the bar. With 85 minutes played, E. Groddeck of Pringel fell dramatically just outside the penalty area. However, the referee was unimpressed, and booked him for diving. Possession in the forty-five minutes was dominated by HIIDLASED, with 53 percent of the ball.

Most important HIIDLASED player was R. Urva. A. Sõlg on the other hand, had a terrible day. Pringel's best player was E. Groddeck. However, N. Gündüz made a disastrous appearance. The match ends 1 - 3.
