No mercy from Paide
Kuressaare will want this one forgotten quickly: 5‑2, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Paide were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Ruan Pablo, 18, plays like he has been here for years — 8.45
A mark of 8.45 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 18-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Home is on Ebrima Jarju's mind
“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Paide are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

7 goals as Paide and Kuressaare go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 7 goals between Paide and Kuressaare, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

One of those days for Changa Bass
There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.69, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

In brief

- Market Martin Klavan steps up from the Paide academy
- The dugout Daniel Cabral gets it from the manager
