As the match began, FC Tallinn was riding the wave of their last victory-a 4-2 triumph at Flora II just days earlier-but they remained firmly rooted in eighth place with 40 points. They faced a formidable foe in Viimsi, who came into the matchup boasting an impressive total of 72 points and were eager to maintain their title chase. With this context in mind, the stakes could not have been higher.

The game started with high intensity as FC Tallinn looked to assert themselves early. It paid off when they opened the scoring just 19 minutes in. Unfortunately, details about the FC Tallinn goal scorer remain unknown, but it undoubtedly spurred hope among the locals.

This equalizer shifted momentum away from FC Tallinn and changed the tone heading into the break.
