Järvelaid and Liivak took up the wide roles, and Kirss led the line up front. Harju, missing the suspended Antonov, reshuffled their backline: Järve moved to left-back, Reimaa filled in on the right, and Eerme and Piht formed the attacking duo. Levadia struck early. A deep cross from Järvelaid skipped past defenders and dropped perfectly to Agyiri, who buried it first-time at the far post. Harju responded with urgency. A long ball nearly opened up Levadia’s defense in the 16th minute, and Reimaa’s close-range overhead attempt followed shortly after—though both were dealt with. Levadia nearly doubled their lead in the 22nd minute through another Järvelaid effort, but the shot curled just wide. Harju grew stronger as the half progressed, pushing Levadia deep and enjoying extended spells in the final third. But despite their build-up play, they struggled to test Ani directly. The second half saw more of the same—Harju stayed aggressive, Levadia looked dangerous on the break. Eerme came closest to leveling in the 86th minute, but Ani made a key save. Seconds later, a scramble in the box nearly gifted Harju an equalizer, but the ball was hacked away for a corner. With the win, Levadia head into the international break second in the table with 32 points, while Harju, who showed plenty of fight, remain seventh on 14. **Harju JK Laagri vs FCI Levadia – 0:1 (0:1)** **Goals:** Agyiri 12′ **HAR:** Baturins, Reimaa (Ennuste 89′), Kaevats, Laur, Jarve, Ribeiro (Ussa 73′), Rudenko, Kelement, Roomussaar, Piht (Suppi 76′), Eerme **LEV:** Ani, Liivak (Schjonning-Larsen 46′), Peetson (Lepistu 81′), Tammik, Jarvelaid, Mavretic, Ainsalu (Zakarlyuka 66′), Agyiri (Pedro 66′), Musaba, Roosnupp, Kirss (Gero 66′) **Premium Liiga Matchday 15:** - 30.05.2025 – FC Flora Tallinn vs Tartu JK Tammeka – **3:1** - 31.05.2025 – Harju JK Laagri vs FCI Levadia – **0:1** - 31.05.2025 – Paide Linnameeskond vs JK Narva Trans – **0:1** - 01.06.2025 – Parnu JK Vaprus vs FC Kuressaare – **14:30** - 01.06.2025 – JK Tallinna Kalev vs Nomme Kalju FC – **17:00**
