Tyulivik and Narva U21 played out a 3:3 draw in the Esiliiga B regular season on Sunday. The match ended with both sides having seen plenty of the ball, though the result kept them where they were in the table. By then, the pattern was already set early enough to make the rest of the game feel familiar.
D. Geveller opened the scoring in the third minute, giving the home side a quick lead. Narva U21 responded through A. Jegorov at seventeen, and the visitors took control before the half-hour mark. H. Tikut then restored parity for Tyulivik at thirty-three, and you could feel the momentum shifting back.
And here's the thing about matches like this — the ones that start at pace tend to stay that way. E. Levit put Narva U21 ahead again at forty, but Tyulivik refused to let the game slip. An own goal at fifty-seven levelled things up, and K. Saag's strike at eighty-nine ensured neither side walked away empty-handed.
Standings context:
- Tyulivik remain seventh with 38 points from 26 games
- Narva U21 stay in second place with 48 points from 25 matches
The hosts had come off a 2:2 draw with Pärnu JK Vaprus U21 on Wednesday, while the visitors had lost 1:0 to Levadia U19. That recent form doesn't tell the whole story, but it shows why this result felt inevitable rather than surprising.
By the final whistle, the gap between the sides remained ten points. Narva U21 still hold their position in the race, while Tyulivik know there's work to do if they want to close the distance. The match was never going to be decided by possession or shots — it was the moments that counted, and both teams had theirs.
