Paide Linnameeskond forward Robi Saarma today had a goal and two assists.** Last season, in their four league encounters, Nomme Kalju secured two wins against Paide, while one match ended in a draw and Paide won the other. Today, Paide aimed to turn the tide after their recent elimination by Nomme in the Estonian Cup quarterfinal, where they lost 0-1 due to a late goal by Ivanov. Paide took the lead in the 29th minute with a goal from Sten Reinkort, heading into halftime with a 1-0 advantage. Nomme Kalju faced a disadvantage for all the second half as Aleksandr Nikolajev received a straight red card in the 42nd minute. After the red card, Paide took full advantage of Kalju’s weakened position. Robi Saarma scored a penalty kick early in the second half and later assisted Martin Miller with his second assist in the game. Siim Luts added a goal late in the match, securing a decisive 4-0 victory. Nomme Kalju had a chance to score a consolation goal, but Oleksandr Musolitin’s penalty kick hit the crossbar. Paide remains at the top of the league table after two matches, maintaining a perfect record, while Nomme Kalju experienced its first loss of the season. **Paide Linnameeskond** **vs Nomme Kalju FC 4:0 (1:0)** **Goals:** Reinkort 29′, Saarma 49′ (Penalty kick), Miller 55′, S.Luts 76′ **Yellow Card:** Saarma 37′, Dubackic 45+2′ | Maschenko 9′, Jabir 17′, Siht 27′ **Red Card**: Nikolajev 42′ **Paide:** Jarju – Lilander, Delevic, Dubackic (Juhkam 72′), Saliste (Hi.Ojamaa 79′) – D.Luts (S.Luts 72′), Miller, Hoim (Gilmore 72′), He.Ojamaa – Reinkort (Badamosi 78′), Saarma **Kalju:** Pavlov – Mashchenko, Podholjuzin, Korre, Nikolajev – Siht, Musolitin, Kask – Ivanov (Patrikejevs 64′) – Guilherme Smith (Tambedou 69′), Jabir (Orlov 45+1′) **Referee:** Kristo Tohver
