Kalju scored three quick goals early in the match to secure the victory, while Paide Linnameeskond managed to hold on for a win against Parnu JK Vaprus, despite playing the entire second half with one player down.** Before this match, Kalju was on a two-game losing streak, having lost to FC Flora Tallinn and FCI Levadia. On the other hand, Harju was also struggling, remaining winless in their last two games. Kalju effectively sealed the win within the first 16 minutes of the game. In the 4th minute, Nikita Ivanov headed the ball into the net following an excellent cross from Guilherme Smith. Five minutes later, Ivanov scored his second goal to make it 2-0. In the 16th minute, one of Kalju’s key players, Guilherme Smith, found the back of the net, scoring his second goal of the season and extending the lead to 3-0. As a result of this victory, Kalju climbed to 5th place in the league table with seven points, while Harju, also with seven points, suffered from a significantly worse goal difference. Kalju’s next match is on Saturday against FC Kuressaare, while Harju will host Paide Linnameeskond. **Nomme Kalju FC vs Harju JK Laagri – 3:0 (3:0) Goals:** Ivanov 4′ 9′, Guilherme Smith 16′ **Yellow Card:** Sihn 47′ | Jarve 66′, Roomussaar 88′ **NOM:** Pavlov – Mashchenko (Liit 60′), Tambedou, Podholjuzin, Korre – Siht – Patrikejevs (Kask 60′), Tarassenkov (Nikolajev 73′) – Ivanov (Baptista 81′), Guilherme Smith, Jabir (Orlov 60′) **HAR:** Baturins – Jarve (Suppi 82′), Kaevats, Laur (Kartau 88′), Antonov – Ribeiro (Kose 64′), Roomussaar (Kariste 88′) – Reimaa, Rudenko – Piht, Eerme (Kelement 82′) ![YouTube player](https://i0.wp.com/i.ytimg.com/vi/yXCUlThGOTU/maxresdefault.jpg?w=1080&ssl=1) In the other match, Paide secured their third consecutive league win by defeating Parnu JK Vaprus. The only goal of that game came in the 6th minute when Martin Miller scored a header following a superb delivery from Robi Saarma. This marked Miller’s third goal of the season. Parnu had an opportunity to equalize after a blunder by the Paide goalkeeper, resulting in an indirect free kick from just in front of the goal. However, Henri Valja’s shot with all eleven Paide players on the goal line hit the crossbar. Paide, who accrued three yellow cards in the first half, also received a red card late in that half when Mouhamed Gueye was sent off for a second yellow card in the 42nd minute. In the second half, Parnu tried to exploit the numerical advantage, but luck was against them as they hit the crossbar for a second time and ultimately had to settle for a 0-1 defeat. **Paide Linnameeskond vs Parnu JK Vaprus – 1:0 (1:0) Goals:** Miller 6′ **Yellow Card:** Gueye 14′, Delevic 24′, Ojamaa 45+1′, Miller 64′ | Valja 77′ Mag.Villota 82′ **Red Card:** Gueye 42′ **PAI:** Jarju – Gueye, Delevic, Dubackic, Saliste (Corr 72′) – S.Luts (Saarma 65′), Miller, Holm, Ojamaa – Reinkort (Baranov 46′), D.Luts (Suso 46′) **VAP:** Nomm – Lipp, Mag.Villota, Seppik – Limberg, Valja, Mat.Villota, Kapper, Sild – Pajo (Veensalu 81′) – Vallik (Poder 81′)
