Flora leave it late against FCI Tallinn
Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 86th, and FCI Tallinn spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Ismael Páez stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Ismael Páez and Flora agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Marco Rojas 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 Flora this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Graduation day at Flora
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Newertton gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The crowd has taken to Kaur Kivila
At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Nobody could get near Rauno Sappinen
Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

One of our own: Joonas Dmitrijev joins the Flora first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Joonas Dmitrijev is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Flora promote Frank Liivak from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Frank Liivak has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
