Viljandi defeated Kehra 31:29 in the Meistriliiga on Wednesday evening, 23 September 2026. The home side secured all three points after a contest that came down to the final moments. Both teams had started the campaign unbeaten, which made this a genuine test of quality rather than a mismatch.
The match never settled into a comfortable rhythm for either side. Viljandi built small leads, Kehra answered, and the pattern repeated itself throughout. By then the score was tight enough that one mistake would have shifted everything. The visitors pushed hard in the closing stages but could not find the equaliser.
And here's the thing — we had called for a home win before kickoff, with 66 per cent confidence. That assessment held up because Viljandi's structure stayed compact while Kehra struggled to break through in the middle. The visitors needed more precision in the final third, and that is where the difference showed.
The result moves Viljandi to four points from two games, keeping them in second place. Kehra remain fifth with two points after one win and one draw. The gap between them is now two points, and the table tells a story of two teams finding their feet at different speeds.
What matters most is that Viljandi showed they can deliver under pressure. A close scoreline like this does not always reflect dominance, but the result is what counts. Kehra will look at their performance and ask why they could not hold out longer.
