FCI Levadia brought a beautiful birthday gift for Andrei Leškin from Narva!

The Premium League Round 31 match was held on October 5 at Kalev-Fama Stadium in Narva. FCI Levadia defeated JK Narva Trans 2-0.

Today, Saturday afternoon, the team’s bus headed towards Narva to face JK Narva Trans once again in the 31st round of the Premium League. Additionally, today is a special day for the club as it’s Andrei Leškin’s birthday! To mark the occasion, the team brought home another 3 crucial points as the season reaches its final stretch.

First Half

The game was almost decided in the first half, as both of FCI Levadia’s goals came within the first 45 minutes. Just like in the last match against Narva, Matrossov was almost always in the right place at the right time, showing impressive saves. However, Levadia, dominating possession, timed their moves perfectly, and in the 17th minute, Mihkel Ainsalu opened the scoring. Frank Liivak initially sent the ball towards the goal, but as previously mentioned, JK Narva Trans’ goalkeeper Matrossov got his hands on it. The ball, however, remained loose in front of the goal, and Mihkel Ainsalu successfully capitalized on the opportunity – 1-0!

Narva’s team had to stay alert, but things got particularly dangerous around the 30th minute. In the 31st minute, Roosnupp managed to direct the ball into the box, and from there, things progressed smoothly – Larsen touched the ball, passed it to Zakarljuka, and Zakarljuka sent it directly into the goal! 2-0!

Second Half

It seems that during the halftime break, Narva’s team managed to regain motivation, returning with more energy. JK Narva Trans created several dangerous opportunities in Levadia’s penalty area and earned both corner and free kicks. However, none of these chances were converted, and when the final whistle blew, the score remained 2-0.

The correction against JK Narva Trans is complete! Soon we head into another international break, and upon our return, we will face JK Tartu Tammeka away. Only five games remain until the end of the Premium League season! Additionally, on October 22, we will celebrate the club’s 26th anniversary with the second-to-last home game: FCI Levadia vs. FC Nõmme United. Tickets here!
