Marked for Erik Kallaste

3 Edition

The Sillamae Kalev Sentinel

From our football correspondent Triumph

Squad

A day Erik Kallaste will not forget

4 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Match

Cup progress for Sillamae Kalev

A 6‑1 win over Tulevik, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Market

Sillamae Kalev say no — this time

The offer from Nomme Kalju for Hendrik Vassiljev was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings

Erik Kallaste, 34, rolls back the years — 9.72

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 9.72 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Player ratings

Taijo Mets, 21, plays like he has been here for years — 7.81

A mark of 7.81 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 21-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Market

Silver Teniste asks to leave Sillamae Kalev

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings

A hand in 2 of them from Karol Kruglov — 7.69

Marked 7.69. There is a kind of forward whose value only shows up when you count what he was involved in rather than what he finished, and this is the day that argument makes itself.

Squad

Timi Lahti in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Sillamae Kalev this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Nobody could stop scoring

7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Sillamae Kalev and Tulevik in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

In brief
