Tulvik defeated Levadia U19 3:5 in the Esiliiga B Regular Season on 15 September 2026, a result that shifted expectations for both sides. The visitors came from behind to take all three points, while the hosts saw their second-place standing tested. By then, the match had already shown signs of something unusual.
K. Saag opened the scoring for Levadia in the fourth minute, and quickly added another after G. Vidder missed a penalty in the 14th. The hosts led 2:0 at half-time after Saag's second goal in the 38th minute. And here's the thing — the momentum shifted sharply after the break.
V. Pavlovits came on and immediately made an impact, scoring twice in quick succession in the 41st and 46th minutes. J. Metsmaa added a third for Tulvik in the 57th before T. Elhi sealed the comeback with a late strike in the 90th. To be fair, the visitors had been building pressure all game.
Levadia U19 remain in second place with 53 points from 29 games, having won 17, drawn 2 and lost 10. Tulvik sit sixth with 44 points after 13 wins, 5 draws and 11 defeats. The hosts had lost their previous match 1:0 away at Narva U21, while Tulvik lost 2:3 at home to Luunja on their last outing.
We had backed Levadia to win at 56 per cent confidence, but the match went another way entirely. The turning point came when Tulvik's attackers found space behind a disorganised defence after the interval. And here's the thing — three goals in 15 minutes changed everything.
The result means Tulvik close the gap on the teams above them, while Levadia's winning run came to an end. Both sides have now played 29 fixtures, so there is only one round left to play. The table goes out of the window in these games, but points matter come the end.
