Johvi Phoenix beat Tallinna Kalev II 4-3 in the Esiliiga B regular season on Monday.
The result keeps the visitors in ninth place with 26 points from 29 games.
Radionov opened the scoring in the seventeenth minute before Jaritsa levelled six minutes later. And here's the thing — Radionov picked up his second just four minutes after that, putting Phoenix ahead. Tikhomirov went to the dressing room with a red card in the thirty-third minute, and the game shifted.
Kalev II got back into it through Lasn in the fifty-second minute. To be fair, they had spent the first half trying to find a way past the visitors' defence. The equaliser gave them a second wind, but the numerical disadvantage was already showing.
Shashkov restored the lead in the sixty-ninth minute.
Allik made it 4-2 in the eighty-fifth minute, but Velikanov snatched a consolation goal in stoppage time. The stadium fell silent for a moment when the away side's effort went in, but Phoenix held on.
We had given an away win as our prediction with 44 percent confidence. The match went another way, and the red card in the first half changed everything. The visitors now face a long run to recover from this one.
