A dominant first half set the tone before the break, and a composed second-half performance ensured three valuable points just ahead of the European campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Levadia started the match with clear attacking intent \u2013 creating several dangerous chances in the opening 45 minutes, while Paide struggled to respond. In the 23rd minute, Richie Musaba broke through and opened the scoring. Just before half-time, Joao Pedro\u2019s shot struck the crossbar, but in stoppage time (45+3), Michael Schj\u00f6nning-Larsen found the bottom corner \u2013 2\u20130 for Levadia going into the break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second half continued in the same vein \u2013 in the 59th minute, Musaba again burst past Paide\u2019s back line and squared the ball to Joao Pedro, who made it 3\u20130.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Captain returns to the pitch<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Team captain Rasmus Peetson returned to action after a spell on the sidelines. Due to suspensions and injuries, he filled in as a central midfielder \u2013 a role he handled impressively, helping to shut down Paide\u2019s attacking play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Musaba shines in striker role<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Richie Musaba started as Levadia\u2019s central striker \u2013 a bold move that paid off. Usually a midfielder, Musaba made the most of the opportunity, contributing to two of the three goals and emerging as one of the key players on the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Carlos Torres makes debut<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New signing Carlos Torres, who joined the club earlier this week, made his debut in green tonight. The young central midfielder entered the pitch in the 85th minute and contributed to the team\u2019s solid 3\u20130 victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Big European night awaits on Tuesday, July 8!<\/strong><br><\/em>We host Latvian champions FC RFS at A.
