Narva United will face Bunker Partner in Sunday’s Estonian Futsal Cup final after both sides came through their semi-finals in Narva.
United, backed by the home crowd, moved into the final with a commanding 14-4 win over Võru Helios. The top-flight side had effectively settled the tie by half-time and were led by a hat-trick from Dmõtro Kalininskõi. Lev Lužin, Andrii Kidanov and Anton Komarov each scoring twice, with Maksim Lipin, Kirill Vinogradov, Stanislav Bõstrov, Ilja Šmigelski and Kristjan Kalamees also contributing to the final result.
Helios replied through Richard Lepp, Rasmus Alles, Mario Reinsaar and Andre Väin, but never threatened a comeback after falling well behind in the opening period.
The second semi-final produced a much tighter contest. Silla Phoenix, the other club from Ida-Virumaa, took a 2-0 lead against holders and reigning Estonian champions Bunker Partner in the first half. Bunker Partner turned the match around after the break, recovering from two goals down to win 5-3 and book their place in the final.
The final between Narva United and Bunker Partner will be played at Narva Sports Centre on Sunday at 17:00. United last reached the cup final in 2017, when they lost on penalties to Viimsi Smsraha. Bunker Partner’s only previous final came last year, when they beat Jõhvi Phoenix 3-1 in Tartu.
