A knee injury of the worst kind for Liliu Ojamaa
156 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. FCI Tallinn lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

FCI Tallinn through in the cup
A 3‑0 win over Narva Trans, and the draw for the next round can be watched with some interest for once.

MSK Zilina come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and FCI Tallinn did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

A debut Rauno Vassiljev will not forget — 7.40
There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 0 on the scoresheet, 7.40 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.
