Kalju Nõmme 5:1 Tammeka: Meistriliiga Match Result

Match report

Kallio Nymme beat Tammeke 5-1 in the Meistriliiga regular season on Sunday, a match where the hosts took the early lead and never looked back. The result sees them move clear in fourth place, while Tammeke drop further down the table with their fifth defeat in six league games. And here's the thing — it wasn't the possession that told the story.

N. Ivanov opened the scoring in the 16th minute, then B. Vastsuk doubled the advantage just five minutes later. R. Siht added a third in the 27th minute before D. Sotsugov made it four in the 31st. Ivanov completed his brace in the 39th minute, and M. Tambedou's own goal in the 67th minute was a late consolation for the visitors.

By then Tammeke had already been reduced to defending deep, and Kallio's efficiency was something else. They registered 10 shots on target from 18 attempts, while the visitors managed just 3 on target from 9 attempts. The hosts had 38 per cent possession but didn't need more — to be fair, they picked their moments and took them.

There were two bookings in the first half, T. Koskor and Kauan Pereira both picked up yellow cards, and Kallio made seven substitutions across the second half, including R. Muur and D. Sotsugov. Tammeke's attack generated 185 touches but only three shots on target — things came to a head when the visitors finally pushed forward, but Kallio's defence held firm.

The result leaves Kallio Nymme on 44 points from 27 games, four ahead of Tammeke who sit fifth with 41 points from 26 matches. It's a gap that could prove significant as the season winds down, and Kallio have one foot in a tighter race at the top than they did before kickoff.
