Match Overview
Played at the Narva Kreenholmi Stadium in front of a lively crowd, the match carried significant weight for both sides. Trans Narva were looking to climb away from the lower half of the table, while Nomme United arrived with ambitions of breaking into the top four. The opening exchanges were cautious, but the game soon burst into life.
Key Moments
- 11' – Trans Narva strike first: A sharp counter-attack ended with a clinical finish from forward Sergei Mošnikov, who slotted home after a clever through ball from Aleksandr Kalinin. The home crowd erupted as Narva took an early 1–0 lead.
- 34' – Nomme United equalise: Midfielder Rasmus Tauts collected the ball 25 yards from goal, drove forward, and unleashed a low drive that beat the Narva goalkeeper at his near post. The visitors were back on level terms.
- 58' – Nomme United take the lead: A messy corner kick fell to striker Karl Mööl, who swivelled and fired a deflected shot into the net. The goal stood after a brief VAR check for offside, giving the away side a 2–1 advantage.

Tactical Story
Trans Narva started with a 4-4-2 formation, looking to use width and early crosses. Their early goal came from a rapid transition, but as the game wore on, they struggled to maintain intensity. Nomme United, organised in a 4-2-3-1, gradually took control of midfield through the duo of Tauts and Mattias Kask. Their second goal exposed Narva's vulnerability from set pieces — a recurring issue for the home side this season.
